A client app to input results into the existing Test Day and release
validation processes might be an interesting place to start, for sure.

There was some discussion back in 2009 of using a mediawiki extension
called semantic to do this, for some test days. IIRC, the Sugar folks
used it that way. See
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2009-September/084628.html . Unfortunately the test implementation isn't there any more.
