My mistake, I'm not on my dev machine at present and didn't check the 
facts before posting. Forrestbar I have no argument with and since it is 
not in whiteboard, nobody need move it out, obviously.

Forrestbot I do have a small problem with...

The forrestbot CLI works just fine for me as well, it is the webapp that 
has problems. The two critical issues are that it reports the wrong 
status of the last build, and is unstable in that it needs regular 
rebooting (I think this is a scalability problem, but have not had the 
time to investigate fully)

Perhaps the webapp should be moved to the whiteboard, leaving the CLI in 
tools and therefore the release. This would reduce the forrest bot from 
approx 3.7MB to approx 1.3MB.
