Yes, I am still willing to maintain the bug list.  Any feedback on
that page after using it for some time?  Is the page easy to browse?
Any redundant information?  What about moving the closed bugs section
to a different page?

As for testing, each time I update my working copy of the CVS
repository, I also rebuild the CLIM Listener and play a bit with it.
Occasionally, I also do this with the demos.  It's not formal testing,
but does provide a quick opportunity to see whether anything is
obviously broken.

A web browser application probably not, but a comfortably hackable
browser may have some appeal.
