Hi Jan, I signed up at http://ci.couchdb.org:8888. I like to have access to the Jenkins server and the VMs. Here's my key https://gist.github.com/crigor/c030cad495327bea5944. Is there a list of items that needs to be done in jira or somewhere else? You mentioned a few things here. Where can we discuss them in detail? Regards, Chris
