There are currently several parties interested in running builds/test.
There is you working on Jenkins, Volker is working on setting up virtual 
machines so users can do builds in a seti@home style, and Marcus is trying to 
see how cdash@home could fit for KDE.
It would be good to coordinate the plans of the different people in some way.
Should we do this on kde-buildsystem or somewhere else ?

Do we want to set up machines which build everythings regularly ?
Or do we want to find users interested in specific applications or libs 
setting up builds just for this one part ?
How do we want to deal with covering different build options ?
And how about the different operating systems we support ?
Do we care more about fast turn around times for continuous builds and 
targeted email notifications (so I get an email really fast if I broke 
something), or are we more interested in getting complete builds done from 
time to time ?
