The crucial part that is missing wrt to devpi/tox/pytest is the ability to 
automatically schedule tests to hosts.  Rackspace provides us some funding for 
open source which we can use to have a Windows and a Linux host for running 
tests.  A Windows machine already exists, 4 cores, 8 gigs ram. We could make 
them ssh accessible for all ssh keys we have from contributors for the time 
being so that no one needs to setup hosts and everyone can go to the machines 
to check failures out, reproduce them, work on them.  If someone has a nice 
ansible/chef/...  Recipe for setting up a Linux box with all interpreters, 
headers files and c compiler environment, virtualenv that'd be helpful. I can 
also hand someone credentials to start/stop machines. Help welcome. 

Maybe a little script that goes to the hosts and runs "devpi test..." would be 
good to automate the final step. 

The other remaining automation issues are the docs/pdf generation and 
pytest.org docs push.
