[Building Sakai] Praise/blame mechanism for builds.sakaiproject.org:8080

[Berg, Alan]

Hi fellow hard workers,

Anthony Whyte and David Horwitz have incrementally added Sakai 2.x related projects and branches to the Hudson server at builds.sakaiproject.org:8080 After increasing the servers memory it looks like we have a stable service.

I was wondering if we should turn on the praise/blame mechanism so that developers get emails when they break the build for their indie project or a branch and also project leads for the indie projects. There is even a funky plugin to send to twitter ( nice suggestion David :) ).
 
I want to make one point clear; developers that have historically broken trunk are in general those that do the most work. If you don’t change code it is easy to avoid breaking the build.  The intention of the praise mechanism is only to catch broken builds early.

What is your thinking?

If agreed on either David Horwitz or I can configure Hudson for opt in project lead email addresses, so feel free to make contact.
