I can think of two default possibilities for what to do with the data.
 Granted it would still be nicer to have a custom script, but this
might be better than nothing:

1. Have the results emailed to __________ with a subject of _________.
2. Autopost the results to their own wikipage in a special group, and
use a PITS-like system to access them.

That might do for quite a lot of casual uses.
