 Thanks for tip.

What a discovery! Seems like complete how to:
http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Mozilla_Source_and_Symbol_Server
Blog postings, bugs on b.m.o, other resources also worth of checking:

Best regards.

P.S.
It would be great if ESC could go the Mozilla's path of doing things
in QA department.
The knowledge base is on Mozilla's wiki. Software is... open sourced
and available to download.
You should get connected to make LO better. Definitely.

 In any case, the right way to do it would be to automatically generate
 all PDBs for each released version, for example in: solver\wntmsci.pro\pdb.
 Then we put those generated PDBs online at symbols.libreoffice.org.
 I think first we should have the symbol server for Jesus' debug build.
 Or he should publish the PDB files along with the installer.

Hello.
I am Windows user interested in helping confirming UNCONFIRMED and
other crash bug reports on b.f.o.
Please set up the symbol server and even source server just as Mozilla did.
This will help people without strong programming knowledge to just run
the WinDbg,
download the symbols/source, catch a crasher and fill complete bug reports
for Windows platform with source excerpt included.
And all that without setting up build environment to generate symbols
and source access for WinDbg on their own.

Links to Mozilla pages, where all this is well documented:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_with_WinDbg
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Using_the_Mozilla_symbol_server
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Using_the_Mozilla_source_server
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Debugging_a_minidump

Currently there is only
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/How_to_debug article
and screencast by Jesús Corrius on YouTube - sadly without step by
step wiki article about it.

Please consider. Always you can ask the friendly guys at Mozilla how
to set this all up...

Best regards.
