Well, at the risk of self promoting, tSmoke (see the CONTRIB directory) does a pretty fair job of keeping my boss happy on measuring uptime for specific hosts as well as groups of hosts.
The weekly summary shows availability (as opposed to uptime) over several durations in a nice HTML formatted mail. The downtime summary shows individual host downtime. One major drawback is that the round robin databases default consolidations cut off the five minute interval at 3 1/2 days so your accuracy for weekly measures suffers slightly. However, this evens out for monthly and quarterly measures since the consolidations relative to downtime tend to make shorter outages disappear and longer outages become multiples of half hour and hour measures. Showing host uptime vs. how long you had a dynamic IP address will be an interesting addition to Smokeping!
