Hi Mitchell,
Does anybody have any features they'd like added to the AppDB?
I do: I'd like to see it integrated with CXtest. I think it'd be really cool to be able to maintain a regression test for an app, so maintainers might be able to catch regressions more quickly and easily.
A CXtest test isn't anything more than a shell script, so I don't think it would be that tough.

How does that work? Just run the shell script, then parse the text it spits out?

Nah, it just needs a place to store a script associated with the app, and give someone (the maintainer, maybe others, dunno) the ability to edit it. The maintainer would probably run it manually, and report regressions back here. Anyone else could run it too.
The advantage (vs. totally manual testing) is that all the stuff you've checked before, if you script it, gets checked again.
