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

[Stephen Marquard]

As I think this will probably help reduce the time between trunk getting
broken and fixed again, I think it's a good idea. 

Cheers

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.
