Proposal
--------

jhbuild has already the functionality to automatically build GNOME and
generate an output report in HTML (This is called tinderbox mode). To
improve the quality of GNOME (i.e. it will be be able to build
completely more often) there should be machine which builds gnome
continually and shows the build reports at for example
http://buildstatus.gnome.org/

Maintainers, developers etc. can check over there if modules build. The
first version could be quite simple just a script that repeatedly calls
jhbuild in tinderbox mode and outputs the results on a webserver.

I find this idea very useful. However, regarding the way to achieve it, may i suggest to evaluate the use of buildbot (see 
http://buildbot.sf.net/ ) ? We use it for our software project ( http://www.openwengo.org/ ), and it's very promising.

If you're interested, I can share with you the experience I had so far using buildbot.

Best regards,
