This sounds interesting. I am not sure how much I can help because I have
very little time to work on this stuff. I could potentially install jenkins
on denemo.org but I am not sure what the size requirements would be. I will
give it a thought after checking out their website and perhaps some docs.
That is unless the travis-ci thing is better suited to our needs.
