<p>Would it be possible for me to edit someone else's results in the wiki?<br>
If yes then we need to have a system for authentication. The reason why smolt came to my mind was because they have a system for authentication.<br>
When I send my profile using smolt it makes a blank page on the website which contains the template for results. If I want to edit it I use smolt on my system to generate a key which I input into that page. This allows me to edit it and makes sure that only the person with that installation can edit it.<br>
We can do something similar for testing. For each boot a page can be created automatically and the person who is testing is allowed to edit it. To avoid duplicate entries we can allow a person to link all those authentication keys or pages with his fedora account.<br>
Is this viable? </p>

Maybe you can try making a simple SQL database in which people post<br>
their results. It should have different tables for different test<br>
days. This would allow you to easily sort the data and would not be<br>
very difficult to implement.<br>

The advertisement part is easy to do but I think your main problem is<br>
collection of data and making that data easily accessible to users.<br>

It...really isn't that simple, unfortunately. I wrote an overview a few days back on devel@, so I'll just link to that:<br>

The 'edit your results into a wiki table' approach certainly isn't the perfect answer to managing test day results, but making it better is a more complex problem than it might appear. In practice, I don't think it's something that's a massive dampener on people's willingness to participate in test days, though we don't really have any evidence either way on that, so it all comes down to gut feeling...<br>
