Not really. I was merely thinking out loud that it would be nice to see other people's tests, just for collecting ideas. For a job-related project, I might poke around on LTP http://ltp.sourceforge.net/ (and I admit that I haven't even gone browsing there), ..but.. for something more like a workstation or personal machine, both what other people thought important enough to test and how they went about it seem like it might be worth passing around.
