Not that I'll stand in the way of people who want to fix stuff, but personally I'm unsure whether fixing the usability issues is worth it without the architectural changes. At least, it seems to me that the big problems I run into are caused by things that are going to require a change in the data model -- the way historical build results are not immutable, and the complicated way that parallel builds require you to attach queues to a schedule. The Continuum code is not easy to work with, and that's an indicator of technical debt that needs to be paid back. An example here is... I'd really like to change the notification email template, but the email notifier is baked into the core. The other notifiers were separated, so there must be some reason this one wasn't. -- Wendy
