I do a mostly regular build of almost everything, which is why I notice these things. I'll be happy to setup regular automated builds. Where would an automated nightly build best be run? Where would the results be delivered? Since we are scattered all over the planet, whose night should be used to define "nightly"? Many other questions need to be answered to set this up. Off the top of my head. sf.net has a compile farm that can be used for such things and I already use it for another project. Then we can do builds on several platforms. I have seen other projects get the results of the nightly build sent as a single email to their dev mailing list each night. I live an the same side of the planet as raster, so I share his night, but I work at strange hours so that I can deal with my USA client in real time (and not disrupt my local clients servers during local business hours), so I don't really care what time it runs at. Probably doesn't matter so much what time, so I'll suggest a completely arbitrary GMT midnight to start the builds. Probably take one to two hours to complete each build, but on the sf.net compile farm, they can all build at the same time. On the other hand, trying to dodge compile farm busy times might be worth while.
