Well, when I started reading, I was thinking that having all the builds 
lumped into one section with project name as the main sort key and site 
name as the secondary one....but having a track for each project would 
be just fine. I like it. I think it would work fine like that. - and be 
quite flexible.

Again, I like it. We are (depending on the time of year probably) about 
7 hours ahead of vtk, so If I want to set my nightly time stamp the 
same, I have to do it at (say 7.ooam), but, then the builds are n't all 
finished by the time we start in the morning, so I set it earlier. Hence 
we get ours submitted to "today", but vtk/etc appears on our "yesterday" 
page. Having tracks for each project and separate timezones would be 
really nice. Seing our code being built all green(never happens mind 
you) against an all green vtk on the same page is the ideal.

thanks for the detailed response, I wish I could offer to help but I 
have no idea where to stat with the dart code.

cheers
