I did know that we use the machines for building: http://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/
But it seemed to me we could integrate deeper using e.g. continum and sonar, to get better monitoring and reporting. I might be wrong but do we e.g. - get automatic mail when a build fails ? - have a statistic over our build through time ? I could also see an enhancement where we run an analysis of which part of the code changes most, compared to which part of the code has most reported bugs. I am used to that type of reports because if gives a feeling of the weak spots in the code. I think the job being done today is great, and was in my own (obviously not too elegant) way just trying to see if we could improve. Jan I.
