Who is going to use Termite?

What are their needs?

Cluster Users

A large array of machines that repeatedly build ooo from dirty CWSes.

Community Builders

Have their own machines for the more exotic build setups or testing of new Termite features.

• Have a list of available CWSes that can be built on the build page
• Build pages like http://ooo-staging.osuosl.org:8010/MacPort1/builds/50 should have the times that each part of the process was started/finished
• The ability to get the mean, max, min, mode, median and and other daft statistical measures for the build times of the induvidual buildbots.

Testers

Checks if builds work properly

• needs to get a hold of builds when they are unable to create builds themselves.

Coders

Write code which is usually placed into a CWS

• needs to check that their code will compile/run on other OSes.
