Oops! I Fixed the Linux Kernel (internetnews.com)

Over at internetnews.com is an article that takes a look at the kerneloops.org project. The project keeps track of Linux kernel "oops" signatures by collecting them from mailing lists and via a client program that will automatically send them to the server. "As a result, Van de Ven sees Linux developers fixing bugs thanks to those reports -- thereby making an impact on overall kernel quality. The exact numbers are difficult to quantify, however, as the number of reports that Kerneloops.org gets on any given kernel release varies, as does the occurrence of repeating oops reports."
