Ubuntu Error Tracker in R

Registered by Evan

Hadoop
Moving apport and whoopsie to upstart inotify watches, if it's ready
Team views
-proposed view
server-side hooks
"What makes this problem interesting?" section
Package installation failures, kernel oopses, application hangs, and debconf dialogs
Using TPUT to speed up our most common problems calculation
JMX to Graphite
Staging server
Nagios checks
Retracer stability
What do we consider a regression?
Should we email/text/etc if a published binary is showing errors that it purports to fix?
