Sorry it's taken a while to get back to you on this.
The build needs to happen with the correct toolchain to generate a rom that is similar (or identical) to the original rom that was tested in the board status. That would be done with with 'make crossgcc'. If I try to build a rom that was submitted 8 months ago, I'd want to use the toolchain that was in use 8 months ago, not today's toolchain.
Boards that are in the board status repo: https://review.coreboot.org/gitweb/cgit/board-status.git/tree/amd These are boards that have been tested. These submissions are known to at least boot (with the configuration that was used to test the rom).
Any valid board: https://review.coreboot.org/gitweb/cgit/coreboot.git/tree/src/mainboard/amd The source code for these boards is in the codebase, but we have no way of knowing whether it's currently booting or not until we actually test it.
As the project proposal says, first we want to just build roms that are already present in the board status database. We have a config already present for these, so we don't need to ask any configuration options at all, just give them a list of boards that they can build a rom for. We also don't need to give users every option available in Kconfig. Maybe we give them an edit window that they can paste a config into or edit an existing config.
The preference would be to do everything on the server or in the browser though. We would really prefer not to have any scripts that need to be run on the user's system.

I can't see any other way, it's all about running the commands. Browsers can't do this. Certain actions are still required from user. Some shell script, which will run commands and then send stdout to the server, can be developed though.
the board-status script can send the ref and the configuraiton.
That's not part of rom-o-matic.
Further, tools at coreboot.org and create the tables whih rom-o-matic uses to present choices to the user.
That's what I was wondering, anyway.
