Hi,

Thanks to people who proposed to host jenkins slave: two new slaves should be added next week :-) The conversations we had have been summarized in a short document that will hopefully clarify how the slaves are put to work:

When something goes wrong the failure can be repeated on the developer machine [3] for debug. This also helps the reviewer who knows the code compiles and does not break anything that would be detected by "make check".

This is rare but requires extra attention from the reviewer and needs to be dealt with urgently when it happens.
