In staggered mode, the slave will run only 3-4 times a day and it will only check out the latest revision, if it has changed from the last time. In sequential mode, the slave will process all revisions to the php-src URL. The staggered mode will be used on slow machines and the sequential mode will be used on the machines with mode horsepower. CDash looks like a good option for the reporting phase but I don't have any experience with it. So please take a look at the proposed specs and let me know what you think. We can share the work too after the design is finalized. Right now I was working on the notification phase. -- "Good Enough" is not good enough.
