Sure, if that is the address you want for the list I can probably put it up tomorrow sometime. I just want to be very sure before I start work on it.
Well, wine-tests-results@winehq.org is OK AFAICT. Are there better proposals?
Not sure how you want to accomplish this, but integrating it into the site should not be hard, if the output is generated using the .template spec of the lostwages engine. If it need to be more dynamic than that, some PHP work will be involved.
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. -- Jeremy, are you OK with setting up a simple database for this stuff? If so, we need to figure out a schema. -- We need to run the generator either from time to time, or when the DB gets updated. Any preference? -- Once you have the .template, what does it need to happen to have it appear on WineHQ?
