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.

Cheers,
Luke
