That would be nice. One thing to note though: Mozilla's guys told me 
Litmus is no longer being developed (except bugfixes). They're 
developing a replacement for it at the moment, so Litmus is apparently 
pretty much in a dead-end. We'd have to maintain it ourselves.

Well, if you mean the minimalistic style adaptation (s/mozilla/libo/g 
:)), then yes, that's me. ;) The test cases aren't mine.
First of all, what still needs to be done is undef errors fixed. :) I 
have a few more ideas for afterwards though:
1) the build id field and checks should be adapted for our use. It looks 
like Jean-Baptiste has already come up with a workaround for this, but 
it should be fixed instead of worked around.
2) testcase localization implemented correctly. I absolutely dislike the 
way it's done now. To the extent that I want to revoke admin rights from 
everyone but me. :)
3) platform/language autodetection (it looks like the criteria fields 
are there, but they aren't being used)
...

However, I'm a total newbie in Perl programming, and I'm not very good 
with my schedule, so any help is more than appreciated. :)

I think what we're discussing here is an infrastructure thing first of 
all. Yes, the NL teams will be the primary users of this particular 
tool, but I tend to think that its *usage* can be discussed on the L10n 
list, while the process of setting it up and implementing features that 
we need is only relevant to the NL as much as to any other team.

I don't know if LibO has a services/infrastructure team, but I think 
that its list would be the correct place to discuss this (or just a 
bunch of CC'ed people). Meanwhile, all that we probably need from the 
website team for this particular project is to create templates/css 
styles. Or am I wrong?
