[Buildbot-devel] Going beyond the tutorial; ideas for simplifying larger configurations

[Dustin J. Mitchell]

This is a great discussion - I think we (finally) have some momentum
behind this idea!

I see this in two directions (and doing both is great):

1. As Dan suggests, a new page or two on the tutorial describing how
to structure your configuration for "advanced" setups.  We should
probably stick with one recommendation - enough to get folks started
with a decent structure and get them thinking about how their buildbot
install will grow, without overwhelming them with options.

2. As John has implemented, a config frontend built on top of the
existing configuration system, linked in like Pierre's example.
Multiple, competing implementations are fine here.  I think it'd
probably be best to distribute these separately from Buildbot itself,
but I'm happy to put them in the Buildbot github organization and
treat them as Buildbot projects.  The main docs should point to them.
