Ok then for Grev's list:

A better UI for nightly builds that includes:
    1) a naming convention in user terms ("Firefox 3.6 June 6 2009")
    2) a date-last navigation tree (mozilla/firefox/3.6/date, not
firefox/date-mozilla),
    3) information about the unit-test status of the build,
    4) a way to get notified about the next nightly build after a FIXED
bug that will be usable. (Maybe it would fun to do this via social
mechanisms, have nightly build instrumented to push "I came up!", "I ran
and exited cleanly!", "I crashed badly :-(" to the nightly-build server.
