Hi,
On Cruise control, i think we just need some more baby sitting and a
little more organization on the main page; details below.

Agree and there have been other problems in the past:
some projects not running for days (circa just before the meeting);
some projects with script problems (eg a few days ago for
Project: Test_serial_intel-11.1.069
/home/cc/cruisecontrol-2.8.4/projects/Amber_serial_intel-11.1.069/../buildfiles/check_log.sh: line 45: [[: !: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "!");
etc.
But to be fair I haven't sent my suggestions to Robin/Ross,
keeping automated things running does take time,
and overall cruisecontrol is a giant step in the right direction.

I have thought that better organization on the main page is needed:
instead of an alphabetic list of projects, put the build and the test
for the same platform close together and put the serial stuff before
the others; this could be made fancy but merely some well placed
whitespace could be a big improvement.
