The most exciting part of pony-build, apart from the always-riveting spectacle of "titus rediscovering problems that buildbot solved 5 years ago", is the loose coupling of recording server to the build slaves and build reporters. My plan is to enable a simple and lightweight XML-RPC and/or REST-ish interface for querying the recording server from scripts or other Web sites. This has Brett aquiver with anticipation, I gather -- no more visual inspection of buildbot waterfall pages ;) BuildBot has an XML-RPC interface. So Brett can probably do what he wants with BuildBot right now.

Brett actually wants web hooks so pony-build will ping an App Engine web app when there is more data, ala PubSubHubbub. Or hell, just have pony-build have an Atom feed with updates and simply use PuSH. In other words I want to be told when there is an update, not have to poll to find out.
