The current mechanism is sufficient, but it could be much better. The key distinction 
here is that CruiseControl ties checkins to build failures and presents this 
information in a public web page. On prior projects, when I broke the build (yes, I 
admit it) the build itself would notify me via email within minutes, then if I didn't 
fix it, a steady stream of developers would call me to tell me what an idiot I am for 
breaking the build. They knew I broke the build because the very public web page had 
the results of the broken build and my list of checkins attached to it. No mystery 
there. In a very short amount of time, I learned not to break the build. This was true 
of all the other developers too. 

Do you have any current mechanisms that can give you this rapid feedback? When things 
break how do you address accountability? How long does it take?
