- Good web UI for "builds in progress"; you can monitor progress as it happens
- Designed to do "build whenever necessary, but not more than necessary", ie it solves the load issues caused by continuous integration
- Every mass-check output and every 'freqs' output will get a HTTP permalink, which allows side discussion to "point at" test results
- Integrated with SVN for version control and history tracking, so we can easily find test results that correspond to a mailed-in rules file
- Allows us to run mass-checks securely, in a buildbot slave running in a segmented chroot jail
In terms of results of mail-in rule checking; there's no automated check-ins into the "sandboxes" or "core" from this. Instead rules considered suitable for use are manually checked into the "sandbox" area by one of the committers who has privs to do that. With luck, they'll go into the core based on the automated testing described in RulesProjStreamlining. This is a rule-QA system, not an alternative to "svn commit".
