+ Data stores:
+ A) symbol store - large, fairly static flat-file store
+ B) minidump store - smaller, constantly changing temporary minidump storage area
+ C) database
+ Functions:
+) the collector accepts the crash reports (minidump + metadata) from clients
+  Requires write access to the minidump store
+  read/write access to the database
+) the symbol uploader takes symbol information from
+a) the tinderboxes/build systems
+b) uploaded symbol information from extension authors
+ Requires write access to the symbol store
+ and read/write access to the database
+) The processor takes the minidump and turns it into a stack
+  Requires read/delete access to the minidump store
+  read/write access to the database
+  this doesn't need to be (probably shouldn't be) a web app, but a
+  background daemon
+) The query engine provides reporting and querying from the database
+  Requires read access to the database
+) symbol store maintenance
+  Need to clean up old symbol information (e.g. nightly builds greater than
+  a week old, alphas/betas that are no longer relevant, etc.
+  Requires delete access to the symbol store
+  Read/write access to the database
