We currently use ADI data (I don't know where it comes from) to generate the chart on the front page of crash-stats.mozilla.com, which is "Crashes per 100 Active Daily Installs", which attempts to present an overview of how crashy the various release channels are, normalized to their usage. Presumably we could pull more data from Telemetry to get population estimates for more specific things, like "number of users running release version X on Windows XP". That would certainly be useful input for our reporting, where Windows crashes tend to overwhelm everything else just by volume. -Ted _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
