For some time now, the crashkill team has been thinking about publishing a regular newsletter to the broader Mozilla community. The goal is to engage users and developers in helping us improve the stability of all our products. The newsletter will cover a wide range of topics relating to crashes and crash analysis. We might focus on particular problems, crash trends or simply provide a list of bugs we want help reproducing. The newsletter will be published twice during a full release cycle, one week after we merge from m-c to Aurora and two weeks prior to Release. | ||
