Sheesh... I'm not paying attention for a couple of days, and the list fills
up!

PDF is fairly easy... there are even Java libs for it ;) however that
doesn't make it easy to edit them, only for the stuff we release.

Well.. you know my spin on that one ;) Text or HTML are my vote...

Got a few more aspects I've been thinking about...
it must be able to connect to a standard telephone line and be battery
powered so that it can monitor not only things like temperature, but also
other machines (servers etc...) and power requirements... with a telephone
line, and battery operation, it could actually call someone and tell them
they where about to have a big mess on their hands. e-mail as well... so
notices can go out on several different mediums... I'm sure we can expand on
that one ;)
