The uptime doesn't matter. It could even be 1 hour per day. TeamCity  
knows which agents are up and sends build requests to those only. Of  
course if the agents are up only a small portion of the day then we  
need more agents overall but any help is welcome.

This is the first time we're doing this so there'll be learning along  
the way...

Is anyone else willing to share some CPU cycles?

Right now my goal is to see if there's interest. If so, then  
Raffaello (XWiki's admin) and I will define the setup.

Thanks Radu!
-Vincent
