We have a regression test suite here for our applications that run  
anytime someone commits to the SVN repo.  It's based on Bitten ( 
http://bitten.edgewall.org/ 
  ) which is a plugin for Trac ( http://trac.edgewall.org/ ).

I mentioned to John the other day that Sourceforge now allows you to  
use Trac... which should mean that it would allow us to use Bitten.   
The nice part about Bitten is that you can run the little daemon that  
looks for new build jobs anywhere.  For instance, I could have one  
running here on our supercomputer... and on my Mac and you could have  
one running on some of your platforms at NASA.  Then when someone  
commits to the code all of our daemons will see it and automatically  
build the code and run tests.

It's an extremely simple environment to work with and setup.  I would  
definitely be willing to do all of the administration for it.

Trac is awesome anyway... and we should probably move to it instead of  
our current website structure.  It's a big integrated Wiki that really  
makes it simple for people to contribute to.  The list of plugins is  
huge... for instance we use this Doxygen plugin ( 
http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/DoxygenPlugin 
  ).  In fact... we have Bitten setup so that anytime a commit is made  
to a code the Doxygen documentation for that code is automatically  
rebuilt and updated in Trac.

Other stuff Trac does well is issue / bug tracking and REALLY good SVN  
browsing and diffing.  We've had it for a year now for all of our  
libMesh based apps... and it's absolutely indispensable!
