I've been trying to use Confluence since the first alpha, but it crashes when I do the simplest things.

I noticed in 1.0b1 that the exception reporter has been improved. It organizes some important information and gives an e-mail address to which to submit the report.

If people are going to put their data in this, reliability is priority 1. I'd much rather have Confluence stop crashing than any new feature.

But here's my idea for a feature that will help: a very simple crash submission mechanism. Think Netscape Talkback or Windows Error Reporter (whatever it's called). You've already got a page to explain what to do. Why not put a link on there that submits to Atlassian the stack trace and the server log. What would be really great is if you could auto-populate a JIRA issue and let the user add more details. Even if you send a simple e-mail, you could leave a box for the user to explain what they were attempting.
