Unfortunately not, since some of the system is linked to our DB and the 
IPP system. We tried to expose as much as possible in the source code 
provided in github. At the minimum, you should be able to run specberus 
locally and probably the third-party checker.

A lot of source code is on github and we're certainly eager to get 
contributions into the code (especially specberus and its mystic error 
messages). It's all linked from
  https://github.com/w3c/echidna

Feel free to contribute to the documentation as well btw. We realize 
that it's not the best and we keep tweaking to help guide folks.
