Re: [cosmos-dev] FYA: COSMOS weekly integration build

Hi Ruth,

I wanted to elaborate on a couple of these for clarity,
esp. for the benefit of those who weren't on the community call.  Please
correct me if I'm misremembering what we decided.

The distinction here, I believe, is that the patch
attachment is for non-committers to get their code in vs. the Tuesday deadline
for committers.  One of the problems we had in previous iterations
is getting bulk submissions from non-committers.  It would be nice
if we could get at least weekly contributions from non-committers so there
isn't a big integration pileup at the end of the iteration.

I believe we decided for this to be handled per subproject,
i.e. the subproject lead would be responsible for ensuring JUnits were
run, and would respond back to the list with a "go" or "no
go" reply for that subproject.  The note on the wiki page about
TPTP JUnits is just to indicate that subprojects can run standalone JUnits
and not worry about checking in the results files, and this would be the
case up until we have the build automatically running JUnits for us.
