You could use the tracker with a completely different "collect"
script. This is the script that pulls from Launchpad currently.
The HTML generation is completely independent from Launchpad. It works
from an sqlite db and model of blueprints etc.
If you can write a script to poll your data sources and massage that
info in to the db schema then you'll be able to generate the HTML from
the db in the same way that we do.
You can see the schema at
