Thetalk will present the work on the automatic updater as well as the approach tocollect some user statistics to improve the crash reporter.

Based on theexperiences with the crash reporter the need for an automatic updater has beenshown to be a serious problem for the project.

Based on theprototype server the talk will also show how the server can be used togenerate am estimation for active daily users (ADU) and how the informationabout the number of ADU can be used to enhance other services.
