Yes, we currently have a downtime of our infra, sorry about that.

Can you share a link to your current bot, so that I can better understand
your usage?

Most of the installs I know of are actually private (or using
buildbot_travis)

Unfortunately, there is no such thing of a typical installation of buildbot
nine. Being a CI framework, people are really using it in very different
manner.

There is this "typical" post-commit, mono-project usage that 0.8 console
view dashboard is very good at.

I have to admit that indeed the 0.9 console view is not as good as the 0.8.
nine console view was developed by a gsoc student, and did not get many
contribution since that. Despite the student was very talented, it has not
been driven and improved by people actually using it day to day.

I dont know if this is because buildbot nine users are not using it, and/or
buildbot eight users are happy enough with eight and dont see the ROI of
upgrading (like it seems to be your case).

I would be very happy to accept any contribution that would improve the
state console_view, please remember that Buildbot project is entirely
driven by voluntary people, and our roadmap is dependent on what people are
happy to work on.

Regards,
Pierre
