[Buildbot-devel] console and waterfall views for Nine

[András Tóth]

Hi,

the console view for desktop is close to be ready to use.
Here is a demo how it works: http://buildbot-demo.herokuapp.com/#/console
(The heroku app gets the data from the metabuildbot:
http://nine.buildbot.buildbot.net, so it takes a few minutes to load the
data.)
The source code: https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/pull/1168

I welcome your remark and advices!
Andras
