Sounds good (I like experiments ;)) but before going too far I'd like to see:

1) the needs we have regarding hudson mails. 

For example, IMO we need:
- immediate notification after a commit that makes the build fail
- no false positives
- know who broke the build very visibly (with the commit that broke it)
- console logs in the mail not to have to click on the link to get details
- short and clear mail subjects (right now they're long and all look the same 
which makes it hard to see which module is broken)
- no duplicate mails. We receive one for the top level project and one for the 
each module right now
- no mails when build is successful; only when it fails

Do we agree about those needs? Any more?

2) how you report is addressing these needs in 1) and whether it's supposed to 
replace the existing mails sent or come in addition to them. Also I'd like to 
know how frequently it is sent? On each commit? On a time basis? 

Thanks
