[Building Sakai] Continuum, Hudson, Bamboo or some other ci server app

[John Bush]

We recently switched from cruise control to hudson and have been  
really happy.  We are doing Sakai and Kuali builds this way, and have  
found the master/slave configuration hudson has to be really useful in  
speeding up the time to populate databases, because you can drop a  
hudson slave on a local network to the database and have the master  
call it, for Kuali this is a big issue, there's a lot of database  
seeding going on.

It took us about 15 minutes to get hudson integrated with our ldap.   
We also use green balls and the jira plugin.
