[Adium-devl] Smart Crash Reports

[Evan Schoenberg]

So what's the consensus on Smart Crash Reports?  Will it be possible,  
Jeff, to add statistics and smarter searching to the SCR web  
interface?  If not, can our interface end up with a working search  
mechanism?

Either way, I think we should switch to SCR -- if we're using our own  
interface, we can have it post to there instead of emailing us.  The  
advantages are reduced binary footprint (not a lot of difference,  
actually: 140 kb download, 300 kb on disk), standardized interface  
with other OS X apps, and the knowledge that by collecting crash  
reports we aren't reducing the prevalence of crashes which matter to  
us (webkit, anybody?) in Apple's database.  Disadvantage is the link  
between user and crash reports -- but a user who contacts us can of  
course attach a crash log or could specify their computer's name  
which is included in the crash report.  Alternately, we can specify  
in the default text a message such as "Include your email address if  
you would like us to be able to contact you about this crash report."
