I've also found editing the huge tables in the wiki to be really tedious.

If they were kept in some sort of machine-readable format,
it would have the added benefit that they could be transformed into
the lastest prefered format without any manual conversion.

Also, since all of the fields are free-text, none of the pages are
in a very standard form. It might be a good idea to break each
entry into a strict set of values (bool -- pass/fail, launchpad bug#, 
freetext comments, etc).

I'd love to see a nice web-based checklist that I could work though
while checking to see how the latest snapshot handles my laptop. (no 
accidental updates of format/structure while I'm doing data entry)
