Just a quick note: the set of Python Community Buildbots (aka Pybots) is
alive and kicking as we speak. There is currently just one buildslave
running the Twisted unit tests every time a checkin is made either in the
Python trunk or in the 2.5 branch. Here is the status page:

For people interested in participating in this project, see 2 blog posts of
mine:

Let me know if you are interested and I'll add your buildslave to the
buildmaster.
