Scraping the crashreport website, with Xisco Fauli

The crash report server was started in 2016 (LibreOffice 5.2). Problems: a lot of clicking around; website super slow; use of backslashes in Windows traces; crashes sorted by date->newest in last page

So, Xisco made a script that goes through all the crash reports and generates better/easier-to-read info: crashreportScraper.py – it generates a nice CSV with all information compiled.

Please anonymize my document! With Eyal Rozenberg

Many people have bug reports, but can’t attach their documents because: it’s personal; it’s a draft. (Business contract, etc.); or under obligation not to disclose. (Working for big corporation, etc.)

Work needs to begin on creating a tool that can replace text/images with anonymized versions, allowing people to submit more documents to their bugs. (Making it easier to reproduce/fix.)
