Yes, I am beginning to put the pieces together myself (in my mind.)
First, you need to capture all excptions in a string. Plus any system info that might be useful. Next, open a WebDialog with a form pointing towards your server. Then ask the user if they would like to send a report. Finally, user click Submit and sends the report.
I just started writing small bits using Ruby on Rails (I don't have a dedicated server, so my home PC will host mine.) Bug reports delivered real-time right to you!

Yes it could certainly work. In my Nudge script in diagnostic mode, under Windows, it generates an email to me will all the environment information. All the user has to do is hit send.
As far as doing it automatically, or by putting up a "bugsplat" type of dialog, I'm pretty sure that could be done too. With the WebDialog, or even with openRL, a form could be called on a server anywhere, passing the infomation. All the Ruby script would have to do is set up the begin/rescue/end routine, with all the error collection and server connection stuff in the rescue clause. Sounds like a fun project. I might play with this today. It would give me a chance to test the Apache server I have running on my localhost. Good idea!
