+
+We do have this with check.mageia.org, based on youri.
+
+Now, if you want to create a notification system for that, feel free.
+The software can be found on ouri.zarb.og, the documentation is minimal,
+this is perl. You can however get test result in txt format, html, or
+anything, and thus a tool to send notification ( and more important, a
+tool to configure notification ) can be constructed upon that.
