Fed19 test days and test day pages

Dear QArs,

I would think that having serious minded users of Fedora participating
in the test days would be appreciated.

The actual testing itself is no problem but reporting the results
seems to require a 'certificate' (log in with a FAS account) and 
arcane contortions with Wiki pages.

I don't see why I should take the trouble to create a FAS account.
Neither the Fedora community nor myself would profit from this. 
Is this a 'hurdle' to keep out incompetents and to have a minimum
guarantee of serious contributions?

Then this business of the Wiki page to post results.
I don't find the Wiki 'language' (or html, etc., for that matter)
interesting or attractive and I would evade any situation where I
would have to use it and I have no inclination to learn even the
minimal 'markup' syntax needed to use it.
So spending a couple of hours trial and error fumbling to post 
the result of the tests is not appealing (and whatever I did learn
would be forgotten the next day, so I would have to start all over
again the next time).

I cannot judge if the amount of time needed to create an 'easier'
report option is prohibitive (something like a java script questionnaire
or whatever). But otherwise very detailed step by step instructions,
written for say a 6 year old child, might entice me to use the present
setup.

And while we are at it the test page itself could use some cleanup.
What's with the reference to 'Smolt' & 'according to these instructions'
and clicking on "or the special live image (see below)" refers to
a Fedora 18 Live CD:
