[Buildbot-devel] Is there a build-god? Or any aggregated view for multiple build masters?

When you say a "client-side application", are you referring to a  
static web page which uses JavaScript to request the current build/ 
slave/whatever status?

 From what little I understand about JSON, it sounds like a web page  
would have to use an XmlHttpRequest, and I think that the origination- 
server issue would limit you to aggregating multiple masters on the  
same host. (I was pondering this to provide a top-level indication of  
what is going on across several masters, each located on a different  
host.)
