Actually I am curious about this tool and think maybe the tool itself and other testing infrastructure tools might really be great contribution to the community. We all benefit from the testing results of this the efficient QA efforts in Norway. I wonder might you consider contributing these tools so that they could be used in a more general purpose way and enhanced by all for the general benefit of the community?
I am not sure exactly where these tools would be checked in, but are certainly worthy of a place. I recall that at one point a snapshot was made of the testing report scripts and then copied and forked for the IBM reports and then enhanced locally in Norway. Since they were not checked in, they they could not be enhanced open source style and used generally. I think if contributed, they could be enhanced ultimately it would be easy for anyone running tests to post them in the same format and link them off:
