[opensource-dev] Collecting DIDN'T CRASH data

I think I've tooted this horn on this list before, but since the
subject has come up again, I'd like to bring up a Jira I created that
requests information like this be made available to the public.

https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/WEB-2596

It would greatly aid content developers, as well as open source
developers, by letting them know what people's computers are capable
of, what features they have turned on, and what things people can and
can't actually use.

I recently built a tool that requires Media on a Prim, only to find
out (by a third party source, since LL doesn't make this information
publicly available that I'm aware of) that only around 50% of users
have a viewer capable of even using MOAP.

Some day I hope to have time to work up a solution to this myself. But
I'm not going to cry if someone beats me to it.
