That's good - it sounds like we are aiming for the same thing after all! It would be nice if this could be automated at some point, so successful builds are published automatically. Also should the build be considered broken if we have an unsuccessful build? It just seems to me like something is wrong if there hasn't been a 'successful' build for more than 2 weeks. What do you think?
