Hi David,

if non of the core Parrot developers answer you then let me,
the newcomer do so.

Recently I have been involved in a little research where I was looking
at various automatic build and test smoking systems. Among others
I looked at the PostgreSQL build farm as well.
See my blog entries:
http://www.szabgab.com/blog/2007/07/1183825266.html

I liked it very much though I have some issues that I think should be
improved there too.

Regarding Parrot, I think there was some discussion of moving it to use
TAP::Harness and to use Smolder to collect the TAP based results.

I am quite in favor of having something like the PostgreSQL build farm
integrated with TAP::Parser and possibly Smolder and adding some other
features as well. So I'd be glad to participate in your project and help
making sure that the all the needs of the Parrot team are
addressed.

Gabor
