Give Us Something to Work on / Report a Bug

This page summarizes changes and updates made to the site. Where an idea came in from the public, if you give us your contact info like a social url then we will link to it from this page. Right now we are looking for urls for public health agencies outside the U.S. (we really don't want to be the proverbial ugly Americans).
