I've done a bit or work on the Wiki. The TAP proposals have been grouped into ones that are considered worth implementing, ones that are still ideas and ones that have been rejected / supplanted. Don't like the decisions I made? Edit it, its a wiki.
I've also written out a proposal for the test meta information. This covers both the desires to output information about the environment (time, date, perl version, environment variables...) and about the status of the test. It goes at the beginning and end of the test. It uses the same basic format as the Test Diagnostics proposal. All fields are optional. http://perl-qa.yi.org/index.php/Test_meta_information TAP version 9 --- datetime: Sat Mar 10 16:04:50 PST 2007 producer: name: Test.pm version: 1.23 ... 1..2 ok 1 ok 2 --- exit: 0 wait: 0 times: cpu: 4.1 sys: 1.0 real: 6.5 database: 0.3 ...
