I thought that too, but rjbs seems to love email :) > It would be nice to have the archive on a server so that if e.g. a new > maintainer takes-over they can download these fail reports. > > Similarly, I have to guess that Windows users and those on a dynamic IP > internet (and similarly, firewalled) connections would be more engaged > in automatically submitting test reports if they could simply POST them > to an http server rather than needing to configure sendmail. Part of my TPF grant work is to set up a smolder server for CGI::Application modules. Maybe that would be a good way to test some of this out. Then if things work ok we could move on to more modules as people want them. Smolder might need some tweaking to work with that many projects but nothing major. Anyone got some hardware they are itching to use for some nice open source cause? Smolder is pretty light on resources but if we start covering a lot of modules disk space might be an issue. -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP
