[Users] Launch of Cactus User Portal

[Thomas Radke]

Hi,

I'm pleased to announce the launch of the Cactus User Portal, a service
for users and developers of the Cactus code to publish and share
Cactus-related information of common interest.

Version 1.0 of the portal provides functionality to access and query
results from integration tests on selected production machines at AEI
and CCT. The integration tests include the Cactus flesh and all Cactus
arrangements as well as other publicly available modules such as
AEIThorns, Carpet, and TAT. Each nightly test

  1) checks out flesh and thorns from in their latest version from
     CVS/darcs
  2) creates a configuration called 'PublicThorns'
  3) builds it according to the given thornlist
  4) also builds all utility programs associated with thorns
  5) runs all available testsuites

Integration test results from currently 4 machines are presented in the
portal and can be queried in various ways. Portal access is provided
through a predefined guest user account.

The Cactus User Portal is available on https://portal.cactuscode.org.
