OK, I added comments on the current SMW implementation to

A few months ago I discussed using a Google Docs spreadsheet with 
someone at OLPC.  Unlike a wiki page or Trac ticket, a spreadsheet row 
is a pretty good match for "a test result",  and I hear rumors that 
spreadsheets kan count and graph.  I added this idea, and maybe by 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Community_testing_meetings/2008-11-20 I'll 
have a sample implementation.
