[racket-dev] What's the process for adding a project to DrDr

DrDr gives you access to an X11 display, so I suppose you could run
Firefox or something else that you could script. I don't really know
anything about that and/or getting the results back to the Racket
script to signal success or failure. Currently the only GUI tests are
DrRacket's and they are quite finicky and rely on some GUI scripting
built in Racket. Basically... what you want is possible, but you'd be
the first one to do it.
