Two things:

1. There's a whole nested set of categories...
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Fedora_18_Final_RC_Test_Results
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Fedora_18_Test_Results
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Test_Results

2.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Base_Test

those three links always redirect to whatever is the 'current' matrix.
Hence the name. I just type 'curr' in Firefox and those three all pop up
at the top of the list.

The tables can be sorted by any column. Just click on the column header.

I'd like that too, but I'm not sure it can be done unless we made every
single test a separate page section, which wouldn't really fly :/ If
anyone can think of an ingenious way to hack up an 'edit here', link,
though...
