I for one would like the full TAP output of the tests. Not just what get's sent to STDOUT by default. What would be ideal (and it's something that RJBS has poked me about before) would be to receive a TAP Archive (prove --archive) that could get attached to the email. Of course this needs to be opt-in (META.yml?). Then it would be pretty easy to setup an email account that is monitored by some tool that would extract the archive and upload it to a Smolder install. Or course I'm biased about Smolder, but having the full TAP available if the author wants it would be nice. -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP
