    One suggestion which comes to mind would be to make available a full
    accounting of all Windows/Microsoft produced event IDs, their sources, what
    they mean etc.
    
    I have found a nice document on the security log and security event ids,
    however it has been impossible to find this information for other event logs
    (Directory services, File replication, DNS etc).  In particular in the case
    of active directory one is publicly unavailable.
