I got to thinking about Sebastian's comments about one Gump install or
another, and it got me thinking about link these together. Gumps can act as
a network, and when they do their results are best viewed together.

If we get a WWW server component of Gump we could do fancy things like push
results to each other, to syndicate results, but for now (keeping it simple)
I think the Gumps can still communicate. I think they can know about each
other, link to each other, show the project results on their server and on
all others, for comparison/linking.

I was thinking of a table (up top of project results) that shows the icon on
this server and on all others, so we can see at a glance if a build failed
on one server not another, etc.

I was wondering if we ought restore the server entry, and make it more like:

    <server name="xxxx"
                type="traditional|python"
                version="????"
                logurl="http://    "    # Location of WWW site
                jarurl="http://";        # Location of Jars (if not obvious
from above)

                timezone="???"

                # Operators ought get credit...
                <operator
                    email=""
                    url=""


Then, I think we ought create a results.xml *something* like:

    <results    server="xxxxxx"
            <project
                    name="xxxx"
                    buildDate="yyyy" # GMT or from timezone

                    buildResult="xxxx"    # Success/Failure/Prereq

                    # I suspect we want some stats in here also, e.g
                    <stats
                            successes="N"
                            failures="N"
                            prereqs="N"
                            sequenceInState="N"

                    # This might be useful (not sure)

                    <outputs
                                location="    "    # Relative to
                                <output type="jar" name

I *suspect* there are some really smart design/XML choices to be made here,
hence I am posting the idea for input.

Basically one gump would download/interpret the results.xml from others
before it presented results. As such it could know/display the results on
other servers (at time of writing). It could also simple link to them.

Thoughts?

Adam
