May I suggest a quiet and very relevant alternate home for this
discussion... alexandria-dev@java.apache.org?  Kevin Burton expressed an
interest in merging these two efforts.  I think that woud be an excellent
idea.

I am quite willing to help, both in making changes to various project
build.xml files, to Ant itself, and in building the necessary functionality
on top of Ant.  I can also contribute computing resources for executing the
various builds and posting of the outputs.

Yes, please do!  <grin>

I had come to the conclusion that I couldn't pull this off by myself, and
was disappointed to not be able to form a "quorum" of Apache folks at
either JavaOne or the O'Reilly Conventions.

BTW - commonly requested features over and above the basic build and
publish are the ability to run regression tests, and the ability to
register an interest in a particular project and to get notified via e-mail
whenever the build fails.

Great, didn't know that. I agree a Alexandria sounds the place to start.
I'll subscribe to the list right away.
