Quoting JBQ from "[android-developers] Re: Cupcake SDKs available for
download"

"BTW, I'm very much looking forward to the start of the next Android
development cycle, since for the first time in the history of Android
such a cycle will start with the source code being openly available.
Things won't quite be perfect the first time around, we'll learn from
the issues that we are going to face, and we'll all work better
together for subsequent development cycles."

Having automatically-generated nightly SDK and emulator image builds
would be one useful milestone in all of this. Whether those builds are
centrally created (e.g., on a Google build farm) or federated via a
tinderbox-style system is certainly up for debate.

Once we have nightlies, we can do more in the way of recurring smoke
tests, so we can get non-developers contributing to see if anything
unexpected is broken. Also, green-flagged nightlies might serve in the
role of the SDKs that Mr. Sutton is distributing, as interim SDKs
developers can test with for application compatibility.

I hope the core Android team will reach out to us at "the next Android
development cycle", so we can figure out what we can collectively do
regarding things like this.
