Don't underestimate the amount of information you have about the involved systems, Doug. I'm saying this as a comaintainer of the fast matrix. But I may have missed some relevant information. Please bring us all up to date. For the record: in the months March-May the fast matrix was the only source of uptodate information because cpantesters was not able to keep up with the incoming reports and thus the matrix was very much behind all the time. Then came the Lyon PTS (Perl Toolchain Summit) and things got repaired and you opened a second address where reports could get delivered. People were testing this second address even with feedback going through this mailing list but since then I'm not sure what the status is. Is cpantesters collecting reports at one or two or even more addresses now? And if so, how can they be tracked from outside to provide the amount of data the fast matrix needs to stay operational? Fast matrix only tracks http://metabase.cpantesters.org/tail/log.txt at the moment. Does this need to change? Around Jun 10th cpantesters reached a state of being fully uptodate, since then it seems to play pretty well. But fast-matrix probably now does not get enough data. In the last four weeks fast-matrix got about 800000 reports while matrix got about 1M. Sorry I did not react earlier, I considered these due to cpantesters catching up. But now I'm getting sceptical. -- andreas
