Automating Team Reports (was Re: Coming up with another term for Approved LoCo Teams - Discussion)

[Benjamin Kerensa]

The Mozilla Reps program also has reports but they are for individuals
versus teams but the reporting is pretty similar in nature. The
platform is already developed out and integrates with Moin which
Ubuntu already uses for the Wiki but eliminates the need to actually
use the Wiki since its a form which posts to the Wiki itself.

Someone might consider forking that work since its open source and
using it to advance the team report automation. I'm not sure how other
loco contacts feel but team reporting through the wiki is pretty
tedious.

The Mozilla Reps Platform is basically like LTP with a jetpack
attached since it has all the reporting automation which seamlessly
integrates with Wiki.
