[IUG] IUG Clearinghouse broken links

[kathy dot koch at gm dot com]

I would like to make an enhancement request to the IUG Clearinghouse...

Would it be possible to add somewhere on the page (when viewing a specific 
clearinghouse item) the ability to report broken links or missing 
materials?

For example:
I went to this clearinghouse item: 
http://innovativeusers.org/cgi-bin/clearinghouse/view.pl?id=165
When I went to the submitter's documents the presentations gave an error 
saying the these materials no longer reside on their server.  (I presume 
since these are Denver presentations that CADL is getting ready for San 
Jose <grin>). 

Then I didn't know whether to send an email to the committee or try to 
find the host library email or what.

I've had this happen several times with links and I just think an ability 
to report problems to the committee would be a nice feature so that the 
item could be pulled or the hosting site notified that their links are not 
working.  I realize that the final maintenance of an item is up to the IUG 
site who are offering it (and much appreciated by the way!) but sometimes 
I think they might not be aware or removed the docs but forgot to remove 
the clearinghouse record or whatever reason so it would be helpful as we 
stumble on things to have a quick and easy way to report them. IMHO of 
course!
