Is p2p system the right architecture for this? I think what we need - for this - is a architecture with a central server to collect the results and offers statistics and information for developers and users. Reporting would be even nice. To get a mail with the information what test X on system Y failed 6 times and so on and so on... I think p2p is nice in many points, but it doesn't suite our needs.
