What platforms should FATE test? So far, it is testing both x86_32 and x86_64 under Linux and Mac OS X, and PowerPC under Linux. These are the first and foremost platforms I care about, and have access to.

What other platforms would people like to see tested through FATE? Windows? *BSD? Solaris? Linux running on exotic bits of hardware? Game consoles? Well, I have great news: After many months of occasional work on the FATE infrastructure, I am confident that the system is in a shape where other people can run the core FATE script and submit results back to the main server.

I have released the first public version of the script at the core of FATE: fate-script.py. Anyone can run it locally on their own platforms, but it requires a few credentials (assigned by me) in order to submit results to the server.

Feedback is very welcome, as are offers to run FATE continuously on other platforms. Also, I would love to know how to properly version something with git. All I can say is that the currently posted version of fate-script.py is version 67eac48073a24deece52cb28fbb25c14858b6c23.
