I spend most of my time working in team areas with other devs, as part of a team who check in frequently and who always use a Continuous Integration tool. When the build is broken, it’s a problem. Typically, a big problem - it should be the top priority of any team to fix a broken build.
The problem is that all of the tools out there provide web interfaces that work well on a desktop, but are rubbish as an information radiators. Information radiators sit in the corner of the room, often several meters away.
Big Visible Wall is a scala webserver which displays the status of one or more cctray feeds. It uses an embedded jetty server. Consider it a software appliance. cctray feeds are supported by multiple different tools, so it seemed like a good choice. It’s been tested with Cruise and Hudson, but should work with anything that serves up cctray.
Grab the distro and let me know if it works for you.
