Some thoughts... Daniel is of course totally right about the need/ usefulness of a much better interface. There are some attempts to make a generic one for Linux in general which would of course be much better.
http://www.phoronix.com/lch/ is one good looking one - but the license is restrictive. Sadly there are lots of competing sites on this issue. Hopefully the Linux Standards Base http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/LSB can offer some advice - maybe even help fund such a system. As for the language, I'm of the opposite view to Jeff. Precisely because I think that the system should be much broader. And PHP is more widely supported for web projects. Also because I strongly disagree that it should be tied to one frontend. It should be a database driven XML based site so that any site can grab relevant info from it (and send to it). Then any Linux hardware site can selectively 'grab' the XML feed from the site and 'wrap' it in their theme. Anyway - I'd love to offer to help - but can't afford the time. I would though love to hear what efforts are current. * Important note: Do not move any pages * They are linked to from outside and people would be very annoyed if the link they have to the report they wrote changed. This is why when I last did a cleanup I only changed the navigation (I made those manufacturer specific sections) not the file locations. * Important note: Do not change the structure of existing reports * see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingDataScraper * The actual testing schedule * Yes we need a new one. If we hurry it could be ready for Feisty Final? My last attempt to work on it is at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeamTemplateNext Please edit it as you see fit.
