Well, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is OK AFAICT. Are there better
proposals?

No need for PHP -- the page will be static HTML generated externally
through a Perl script I'd guess. We'll have to figure a way of integrating
the above list with such a script. I'm wondering if we don't need a DB
in the middle, something like so:
wine-tests-results --> parser --> DB --> generator --> .template
Something like MySQL should do, but it's a non-trivial setup.
We need to figure out a few things:
-- how do we trigger the parser based on email comming in
from the list. Maybe run it as a user, and have things
done through procmail.

this stuff? If so, we need to figure out a schema.

or when the DB gets updated. Any preference?

to have it appear on WineHQ?
