Just some thoughts, I strongly agree to the proposed technology changes, particularly in the database, as it will definitely improve the storage performance. In line with the objectives to make Continuum a slick CI server, I think the design changes is a good move as well. In my opinion, having plugins will provide a platform for flexibility and a workflow-type of approach in managing the builds.
My proposed features would be the following: 1. Aside from the improvement in the UI, I think a visual representation of statistics would be nice. Graphs of the success rates, charts of project health, etc. I think Bamboo has it as telemetry. 2. Distributed builds, this has been started before but it was never used. I think this would be a strong point in using Continuum if it were available. Hudson has it, iirc. I think implementing it as a plugin would provide more control to it. Again, just my thoughts.
