Tinderbox front page improvements

== Project Description ==

[http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=Firefox Tinderbox] is a web app showing the results of multiple machines building Firefox, running unit tests on it, and running performance tests on it, all on three different platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac).  The display is very crowded right now, and can be difficult to read.  In addition, some of the interesting information (changes in performance, for example) are hard to notice.  The tinderbox server software recently was updated to include [http://www.json.org/ JSON] output, which means that webpages can now easily access the data to build their own displays.  Using this data, create a new display for the Tinderbox data that helps developers monitor the status of the builds and performance data.

* [http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/Firefox/json.js Tinderbox JSON data]

== Project Details ==

We are currently looking for people who make use of Tinderbox to give their suggestions and comments on how it could be improved.  Please include some specifics because the display has many areas which could be improved.  Other contribution ideas include what you believe would be the most important information presented, general annoyances, or things to make finding information easier on Tinderbox.
