We need some feedback from you on a new webtool.
I've been working with Asa on a new webtool to help some of the problems faced by the evangelism effort. The tool uses a Firefox extension to allow users to submit sites that block Firefox, misrender, mangle, bust, destroy, or otherwise molest Gecko in some way/shape/form. Most of the data collected is automated (all but problem description category, and a free comment area), and it's completely guided. This forces users to submit valid clean useful data, with minimal effort.
This obviously has some positive impacts on layout. Mainly that it will be easy to use evangelism data to evaluate what website issues are bothering Gecko users the most.
What we would like is some input on how we can improve the tool. Note it's still in development and not complete. We will be collecting "language". We will also be dropping "Gecko" since it's been said the API is unstable and not recommended at this time.
There will also be report generation tool that will generate the top X hosts in the database with a list of the problems reported for them. You'll be able to limit that by things like platform, language, etc. etc.
So the question is... any special requests that we can take into account while refining this tool? How can this tool be modified to better serve you.
You can play with queries here: http://reporter-test.mozilla.org
You can install the extension (still a bit rough) from: http://reporter-test.mozilla.org/install
This is still under development, but should give a good feel of the functionality we are looking to provide.
When it's done, this will sit between the user and bugzilla. So only when problems are confirmed in this database will they be entered in bugzilla. This will avoid dups and provide some statistical information that we just can't seem to get out of bugzilla when average-joe is submitting reports.
Thanks in advance for the help.
