It's harder than it sounds to actually get
a few useful app tests written. Plus there'll
be some work writing up and fixing the bugs
it uncovers.

So then do you think it's a worthy proposal to just work on wpkg scripts? I have no problem working on this, and writting up/trying to fix bugs that are uncovered. I just didn't think that by itself it would be good enough to be accepted as a GSoC project.

Arjun Comar is going to propose something similar, but using Buildbot
as the point of integration.
