[Buildbot-devel] development branch for 0.9.0

[Dustin J. Mitchell]

It's time to get serious about work on Buildbot-0.9.0.  The
DevelopmentPlan page on the wiki describes the plan, and it's pretty
ambitious.

I've just pushed a new "nine" branch to the organization repository:
  https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/commits/nine
so we can start sharing and collaborating on this branch.  The rules
I'll be following on this branch are what you'd expect for a shared
development branch: no history rewriting, but also no promises about
any kind of compatibility - we can rename functions, change message
definitions, and so on to our hearts' content.  Tests should pass on
each commit, and pyflakes should not produce any output.

In the short term, I'm going to try to rush ahead to make a basic
implementation of the data API, since that will likely be fundamental
to Naveen's work on the JavaScript frontend.

Follow along?  Pull requests and extra code will be *very* much appreciated.
