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!
