(Suggestion) Create a platform-independent GUI client for build monitoring

[Ruben Orduz]

I was thinking about taking a shot at creating a GUI client for monitoring builds using Tk. Not sure how big of an undertaking that will be, but it would be pretty useful add-on, I think.

Hi Ruben, apologies for not replying to this earlier.

I tend to be fonder of small tools with as few dependencies as possible. I am also not a very GUI-ey person, my "gui" to monitor autojenkins builds is running it under the linux watch command :]

But if you would like to work on a GUI for this (or you already have) I'd rather you build it as a separate package that depends on autojenkins and I will advertise it as a third-party add-on. Hey, I may even send you PRs if I find it useful enough.

(BTW your blog got me interested in ELM and I ended up learning me some Haskell, which is big fun)

Hey there,

I've been swamped with work in the last few months so I haven't had the chance to work on any side projects. If I get to it, I wouldn't mind having it as a 3rd party add on.

Thanks.
