Maybe an summary page at the end could be useful for user as you (and
me) that just contains a form that reflects every thing you could enter
in the previous pages in one place. Obviously it has to be rechable with
a single mouse kill right from the begining and maybe should have
?buttons? to lead you the the druid page for each page in care you
forgot what this meant exactly.

Anyway, I hope this are some usable ideas, because i dont know
Bug-Buddy.
