Actually at least Microsoft does, not sure about the others. Not sure how much is it used though, but the system has a capability to give an url where to get more information and instructions, or even provide a link to a new binary where the problem is fixed. >> - If there would be a separate crash-site, could it be worth >> to allow crash >> reports without login? > Maybe.

Nevertheless, from user point of view asking an email address wouldn't be as bad as having to register to a separate site before getting/submitting the information. >> - Data sanitation?

But that sounds like manual work. > But currently DrKonqi also just posts the backtrace. True, and this really depends what kind of information is being gathered. One thing interesting which is a bit related is that one possibility would be to gather other information from the system (Perhaps even per app-basis? Automatically getting information about hardware & drivers for kwin bugs, as an example). Same applied to other apps might cause some need to sanitize and/or let users to choose what to send. -- Best Regards, Teemu Rytilahti
