Right. Well Jono has already done some stuff. I'd imagine we can use that (or 
dapt it a little, at least) :)

LOL, yeah :)

It's going to be very ugly to start with. All it's going to do to start with 
is have a couple of QMultiLineEdits where you can enter report information in 
a format that Jennifer has suggested.

Then it'll use QTextStream to write to a HTML file.

I'm quite busy with school and Kalypso though, so it might not mature too 
quickly.

Later, I envisage it just reading/writing XML files. The XML files can be 
uploaded to usability.kde.org, and PHP's XML parsing functions can be used to 
display it.

Possibly ;)

(damn KDevelop won't compile either, so I can't easily grab one of it's app 
templates :( )

I don't use ui files, xmlgui scares me and I don't know how to use it ;)
