Bret - 

I'm looking into this.  I see all of the plugins for Selenium and I'm expecting 
to see something like, Plugin for Ruby Test::Unit or Rspec.  

Ultimately, Hudson has to be able to understand my test results.  Is it a 
plugin that accomplishes that or do my tests need to emit XML?  If it's XML, 
how do you do that?

Thanks,
Alan

This is where hudson excels. You can also run tests manually through 
hudson (to answer the question you asked in a previous post). There is a 
"run now" button. I believe it is also scriptable.

Strongly urge you to take a look at it.
