[Buildbot-devel] Suggestions to group builders and avoid an overcrowded waterfall page?

[Esther Baruk]

I just found out how to do that from the waterfall help page. I just 
have to pick the builders I want to display on the page by checking the 
corresponding boxes. I can open several waterfall like this, electing 
for each page just the builders I want.
It would just be really nice to have this done automatically, for 
instance in the buildslave page...
