Xinc is an OpenSource continuous integration tool for PHP using PHPUnit Framework.
The idea is to
* create a module to manage the configuration of Xinc (currently on XML format) via Drupal.
* create detailed reports page view for Drupal.
* create overview / statistics page view and blocks view.

So instead we use Sphinx. It's REALLY fast, both when searching and when indexing. BUT everytime we alter our content-types we have to manually reconfigure the sphinx configuration. This is why I propose this as a module for the SOC08 - a module that integrates Sphinxsearch and Drupal

Then, create a wireframe of the admin functionality that simplifies the task. Then, create a helper module that builds the streamlined, more intuitive UI
