We use CruiseControl at work for managing the build operations. Whenever a build fails, an email is sent to the project owners by CruiseControl for the notification of problem. Since this email is sent to the relevant parties, others, monitoring CruiseControl for their projects is mostly unaware of these build problems.
While I was surfing, I come up with an extension to my Firefox browser, BuildMonitor, which stays on your browser’s status bar and gives information about the overall status of CruiseControl’s continuous build process results. My browser is mostly open and with BuildMonitor I have the updated info about all CruiseControl builds. The only pitfall is it only works on Gecko-based browsers and doesn’t support IE.

This definitely sounds like an interesting extension. Would you happen to know if one exists for monitoring Luntbuild? I can’t seem to find any.
