Don't worry about "E-mailed test reports". I've been brainstorming how
we can do that with Magpie and the API it already has. I'll handle that
piece.
Others are welcome to step in as they can.

Yesterday sometime before 10:30am US/Central, the primary CPAN Testers
application server died: One of the main disks failed. Since this
machine is hosted by ByteMark, and since we have no contact with them
anymore, there is no chance at restoration. As of 19:00 US/Central, I
was able to restore operations on a medium-sized VM I'm renting from
NetActuate[1]. It is less than half the capacity of the bare-metal
machine that died, so we're still not back to where we were.
Scott Baker has procured some VMs from the Open Source Lab at Oregon
State University[2]. I am going to scale the app to those systems as
well in hope that the three VMs will handle the load we generate. My
guess for that is "probably".
But, with ByteMark's servers now completely out, there are parts of
the site that simply do not function.
* Our CPAN/BackPAN mirror is gone. I'm working on requirements to see
how this can be fixed.
* E-mailed test reports have been offline for a while, but now is gone
until a replacement can be made.
* Large sections of the primary site are still unimplemented
If anybody wants to make a large impact for a little work on some
Mojolicious sites, we can get things working. Until then, I'm doing
what I can with what I have.
