Re: [xwiki-devs] [proposal] Promote xwiki-reporting-tool out of the sandbox and start sending periodic reports.

I'm amending this proposal to include what I want to do further in the future. My goal is to decrease the quantity of hudson mail while making it easier to use. I would like to start by sending additional mail, one message per day with an aggregated build report and run a report which checks for new regressions and send mail every 10 minutes or so when there are regressions. The second step is to solicit input about the usability of the new reports. I think seeing reports in action will make it easier to see what makes a report most useful. This will be finished when we are happy with the reports. The third step is to remove the existing mail system. I will propose this step when I think the new reporting system is satisfactory. WDYT?
