Tinderbox front page improvements

Project Name

Tinderbox front page improvements

Project Description

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 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.

• Tinderbox JSON data
• An example page using the data
• Another example page using the data. (Requires a recent Firefox 3 build)

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.

Contribution ideas include what you believe would be the most important information presented, general annoyances, or things to make finding information easier on Tinderbox.
