Well, 'we' didn't, really. Josef just thought it would be a useful thing
to have, so he wrote it, and someone running a test day wound up using
it. There was no strategic meeting or grand conspiracy or plan or
something. This is how stuff happens in tech, usually: stuff gets done
because people just...do it. Now we have seen test days where we used
the wiki to track results and test days where we used josef's little
tool to track results, and people seem to like the tool, so maybe now
we'll make it more clear to people running test days that they have the
option of using the tool to track the results. That's really the sum
total of what's going on.
