Greetings,

Now that BuildHive has been announced, I think we should start using
it as the primary place for all Jenkins' plugin CI needs. It's kind of
a pain to manage these things for each plugin ourselves at JonJ -
http://ci.jenkins-ci.org

I think it also lends itself to us having to be more stable on
official JonJ since more and more plugin developers are depending on
it to build and test their plugins. This has an inverse effect that
JonJ can't be a place to test out more experimental work, as well as
other expectations about availability and stability.

In addition to being extremely easy to use, BuildHive also will
automatically test out pull requests and comment in the GitHub pull
request whether the change broke the build. This is totally awesome! I
think we may also be able to easily exploit Validated Merge
functionality which does roughly the same thing but without the hassle
of creating a pull request.

The proposal for discussion is to take a snapshot of all our plugin
jobs on ci.jenkins-ci.org as an archive. Then delete them from
ci.jenkins-ci.org. Utilize BuildHive as the canonical place for
Jenkins on Jenkins testing for plugins-only. Continue current usage of
ci.jenkins-ci.org for core and forked libs.

Comments?
