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 ;)

If that's something that people want to have, then buildbot could also provide it, of course. Do you have a spec of the interface somewhere?

Regards, Martin
