Who would be the audience that would go looking for the wiki page?  And how could we help them find it?

If I used an ODF app online or downloaded it from the app vendor- I would think that one would first look to the download site for a bug reporting mechanism.

If my ODF app was included with my O/S.  First blush would be to report it through my OS vendor. 

Does that reduce the audience to those who received it via 3rd party build farms or ftp services?
