Yes, but you're welcome. This is the list so far:

JWalton: Irix (and unknown others ;-)
SirDude: Solaris, Irix, Linux, MacOS X
LarstiQ: Linux/i386, optionally MacOS X and Linux/ppc
Bert: FreeBSD
Hans: FreeBSD

And who is missing again ? yes: Windows :-/ Tinderbox needs a weird
Cygwin/MS Visual combination. Anyone have such a box ?

I think we'd better reverse the list :

    MacOSX/ppc:    SirDude, LarstiQ
    Irix/mips:     JWalton, SirDude
    Linux/i386:    SirDude, LarstiQ
    Linux/ppc:     LarstiQ
    Solaris/sparc: SirDude, Hans
    FreeBSD/i386:  Bert, Hans

Others are still welcome of course, but maybe I need to explain a little
more: the idea is to let Tinderbox run as a daemon, forever ;-) and have
it compile, build report problems (and eventually upload blender)
multiple times per day. At NaN I set it to every 15 minutes (for the
machines that could keep up) that might be a little overkill now :o)

We can go down to say 1 compile per day at minimum I guess. For a given
platform only 1 Tinderbox is necessary, but multiple versions of that OS
are interesting again IMO. When we don't find a continuous Tinderbox
server for a given platform an occasional tinderbox compile run still
helps of course ;-) but it is not ideal.

Any thoughts are welcome.

Hans
