[Buildbot-devel] How to integrate Buildbot Status server on an existing server?

[Vasily]

Hi,

If you want to add more templated pages it might be tricky, but if you need
static web content - that's a piece of cake, just drop your files to
public_html directory next to master.cfg (*not* to templates!), and add
links to those.

Thanks,
Vasily
