Is that kind of flood really useful ?
It is well-meant, but I actually doubt the usefulness right now. For one, we don't know for which hardware that stuff is generated. It may be good to keep the stuff around for later reference, but I don't know anybody who would have time to analyze these dumps in the next 3 months.
Is someone using it to enhance coreboot ?
Those are genuinely naive questions, nothing harsh intended, because I can't remember seeing a reaction to those posts.
We should have a page called "Want to help?" in the wiki and post easy instructions there. Installing subversion is not what I consider to be easy. And we need to explain what our tools do so people can decide on their own whether they want to run the tools.
