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.
* integration with og project.
* integration with ng_workflow or actions.module - allows Xinc to invoke actions for success and failure status such as send emails, promote project to frontpage or add taxonomy terms (eg: add to "failing builds").
