Your guess is amazingly spot on! :) Here's are two good pieces on the subject: http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/What+is+Continuous+Integration http://www.martinfowler.com/articles/continuousIntegration.html The main thing it would mean for Tracks is to publicize the pass/fail status of tests on a standard build, and automatically be creating the package we will ultimately distribute. We would strive to automate and include all steps that would otherwise be manual in the preparation of a release. I'm planning on using rake tasks and cruisecontrol.rb <http://cruisecontrolrb.thoughtworks.com/> as the engine behind this.
