Self-Description of Gump

Hi all,

so far we are getting away with a much thinner kind of board reports
than is required by many other projects - this is probably due in part
to the fact that Gump is an old TLP and in part that its PMC is composed
of ASF members almost exclusively, so we get some trust.

One thing the board usually asks each reporting project to provide is a
one paragraph description of the project and I'd like to provide that
starting with the next report due in about three weeks.  The same
paragraph could be used to describe Gump at ci.apache.org.

I've drafted something in the wiki page for the next board report[1],
please review it and modify as you see fit.  Yes, I know I've written
two paragraphs ;-)

Stefan

This is true and it is an important part of Gump's mission.

The description already is pretty long and seems to be sufficient to
differentiate Gump from the other options on ci.apache.org but I don't
see any harm with adding a paragraph for the board report.  We may be
able to shorten what is already there, don't know.

One concept that would be useful to work into that description ...

The Gump notifications say:

--------------
To whom it may engage...
Project #### has an issue affecting its community integration.
--------------

Gump tends to draw people across the project boundaries.
We are continually made aware of the effects of changes
as they happen, and can more easily report or help to fix
things in the other project.

I don't know how to add that to the description, without bloat.

Agreed.

Looks good to me, but it would be helpful to augment the version at
ci.apache.org with details on which build tools are supported - e.g.
Ant, Maven, Maven2 etc. Not sure that is necessary for the Board
report (except when the list changes).
