I have the guts of the scheduler written already. It doesn't really have a UI and the error reporting is terrible and it probably has bugs, but I think we should try to get this deployed ASAP and improve that rather than invest time in band-aid type solutions (as I said in the other email, I'll describe my progress later today). Actually doing the deployment is probably the sticking point of this. I don't know much about the current set up we have, but AIUI we've kinda shuffled our code around a bit since the last one so some things probably need to change. I know Zygmunt has been working on tools to build all our code into a PPA, so if that's nearly ready, can we deploy lava-dispatcher in place of launch-control soon? Once that's done, adding the scheduler to the mix will be pretty easy (the benefit of all this shuffling). Something I don't completely have a plan for in my head at the moment is connecting the dots, or preserving identity between componenets (as I think Zygmunt put it). We have a build, which will trigger a test run, which will result in a test bundle being uploaded to the dashboard. I can see how to link the build to the test run and (mostly -- I'd like to talk about the details of this) see how to link the test run to the bundle, but I don't quite see how to have a link on the build page that goes straight to the results. I guess we can always have a $job_url/results link that does a redirect to the appropriate page in the dashboard...
