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.
Given that criteria, I was confused by the presence of the categories "freeze", "crashes Mozilla", and "slows down Mozilla" as options. These don't sound like issues that are automatically layout-related, or tech evangelism-related (I assume that is what is meant by "evangelism" here). If the goal (here comes another assumption on my part) is to use this as a tool to stem the flow of bugs filed on layout (or misfiled bugs that should have been filed on layout) that are actually tech evangelism issues, I would have guessed that freezes/crashes/slowdowns would not be layout bugs more often than they are.
One of the goals is to help stem the flow of misfiled bugs or bugs without testcases coming into the layout component. The larger goal is to have aggregate data from tens of thousands of users about which sites work and don't work so that we, can file and testcase bugs on the most important sites first rather than any old website that comes into Bugzilla. It isn't purely layout focused. Think "Gecko".
