Hi whatwg. I have a proposal for a new web standard, and would value your feedback. This is based on my experiences working on Google Docs, which has a well developed ability to send crash reports back to the server for analysis. We often find these crash reports to be lacking in crucial information though, because that information is not available on the JS APIs. My proposal is to have a class of information which can be made available to an app only after the display of a generic 'this application has crashed' dialog, which could be drilled into to show what is being disclosed, and which of course can be denied. Good examples of the information in question are the system's precise hardware and network configuration, what Chrome extensions it has installed, and perhaps a screenshot of the failed application. I've fleshed this out in the following document, and would value opinions on the value of a feature of this kind, and the merits of this particular approach. https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1pw2Bzvy6OEn8YY3fAcZiReJPmgB79swkx-NJAdcemPk Thanks! -Dave
