I suspect that you meant Kamil Páral, no?

Links to the staging are as follows:

  - results display (primitive yet, we know)
    http://resultsdb-stg.cloud.fedoraproject.org/

  - task execution
    https://taskotron-stg.fedoraproject.org/taskmaster/waterfall

At the moment, we're running rpmlint, upgradepath and a trivial example
task which runs on bodhi updates.

We haven't really come to a conclusion on what features we're going to
focus on after we reach the initial milestone of "autoqa replacement".
The only group that has reached out to us with a semi-concrete
proposal/plan so far is the cloud WG.

One of the primary limiting factors is that there are only so many of
us currently working on Taskotron. Folks willing to help add features
is a good way to get something done more quickly but a semi-concrete
"this is what we want to do" is a bare minimum.

We're trying to limit the number of times that we change how packagers
are notified about results, so we'll using the same method for
notifications as AutoQA did for the immediate future.

Almost all of the Taskotron development conversations have been on the
qa-devel list.

I'm also following this list and can answer questions about Taskotron.
