Thanks a lot, Clint. Actually one of our QA community guys, Jóhann
Guðmundsson, independently suggested Bedework to me and I had a quick
look at the web page and it looks nice. It runs in Java but I guess
that's no problem if it works on OpenJDK, and it looks like it's nice
and self-contained, actively developed, and seems to really work to
implement the latest standards, so it looks like a good candidate to me.
I haven't looked at the others you suggested yet, but I will.

I'm happy to help out as much as I can - I'm no expert in this field -
in the initial set up, my only concern is to make sure that this is
something the infrastructure group will maintain over a sustained
period, I'm just hoping that it won't fall by the wayside and stop
working after a few months or wind up with me having to (try and)
maintain it or something. But I'm certainly happy to help out in getting
it up and running and fit for purpose initially.
