As you saw, the actual running of tests and upload of results is
functional. It's designed as a distributed farm, somewhat along the
lines of what Samba uses.
In a few days when I have the registration and display pieces done I
will be calling for a handful of volunteers to help me test it.
Farm members will need internet access to pull from CVS and to push test
results, plus Perl with the LWP, HTTP::Request::Common, MIME::Base64,
Digest::SHA1 and File::Find modules (most of these come with a base Perl
install these days). The whole thing runs from cron - no user action
required. Configuration for a farm member would be trivial.
