I think that "missing the point" is sometimes useful; and in the case of 
the Dictionary is extremely useful.

The ability to share user's notes and observations "at the sharp end" 
rather than having to excavate
the use-list and the forums would save a lot of time and effort.

There "was" a way to add user notes that worked for quite a long time, 
and in several cases I was "saved"
by user-added notes.

As I suggested earlier this evening:

something like the bug reporting system with a triage "nurse" might just 
be the thing that works.
