Description

Some desktop applications have a way to report errors. This would help us know which bugs happen the most often. For example, we could check for sql errors or hard php errors.

Of course, this would be totally optional. Even better would be for people to be able to share their Tiki configuration (anonymously) at the same time so maybe we could detect that bug X only happens with a specific combination of on/off settings.

Firefox talkback:

Of course, knowing about all the bugs doesn't automagically fix them. However, some are super easy to fix if we notice them, like this one:
http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=1399

The same way TikiWiki community members can vote on bugs and feature request, the "crowdsourcing" of error reporting will make it easier to distinguish the most common issues. It would also be a hint that some very rarely reported issues are probably related to a rare server configuration.

The same way I invest to address the most voted on features/bugs, I would do the same here. Specifically, I would like to see reports of the top-10 Postgres-related errors. I am sure these are easy to fix and could make TikiWiki more useful to Postgres users. I would like to use Tiki on Postgres eventually.
