Continued development of the Ubuntu error tracker
Integration with a hardware database.
Pig or Hive (Hadoop) support.
Backporting the reporting client (whoopsie) to previous Ubuntu versions.
Discuss the state of Upstart's inotify event support.
Further changes to the statistics website.
API requirements.
Sort out our story on mean time between failures (http://
Additional problem types (desktop application hangs, package installation failures, debconf dialogs during package installation, ...)
Providing an apport API for applications handling recoverable errors.
Surfacing architecture (and other data points) only when relevant
Should we continue to process and retrace crashes from derivatives?
Can we set /proc/sys/

[mpt] Design privacy settings for previous Ubuntu releases <https:/
[bryce] file a bug about whoopsie-daisy about Xorg not showing up in errors.ubuntu.com: DONE
[james-w] work with ev to determine why kernel crashes aren't showing up (for what it is worth brian-murray filtered out netdev watchdog messages from kernel oops reporting and it might be worth sending those to the error tracker): TODO
[bryce] work with ev to determine why GPU hangs are not being sent (appears to be working now with our latest xserver fault handling work): DONE
[brian-murray] work with ev to determine why package installation failures are not being reported: POSTPONED
[ev] Teach Daisy to handle package failure error reports: POSTPONED

[ev] Move whoopsie from long-running to using upstart's inotify events: BLOCKED
[ev] Implement "Last seen" field, with highlighting based on whether it's the most current version, or split apart fixed and still open problems into two tables: DONE
[ev] Backport whoopsie: POSTPONED

[ev] Change the default release filter to "All non-EOL Ubuntu releases": POSTPONED
[ev] Add fragment identifiers to URLs on errors.ubuntu.com that are updated when each page changes: POSTPONED
[mpt] Design date range selection on errors.ubuntu.com (bug 1023920): DONE
[ev] Implement date range selection on errors.ubuntu.com: DONE
[ev] Move to tastypie for the errors.ubuntu.com API: DONE
