Active

Ideally, there are never more than two active projects.

• MonoGet: a simple NuGet client that more closely aligns to RubyGems that works great on Mono, and an HTTP API that's sync'd with the official NuGet Gallery
• RpgRooms: A web app for playing traditional, pen-and-paper-style role-playing games online via real-time chat, play-by-post, or email

Queued

• Contribute testability and "not a Git repo" exception handling for libgit2sharp
• Add Razor colorization to ColorCode
• GitHubCLI: a cross-platform command-line interface for GitHub

I want some one to build CI as a service for .NET. Actually, I want to build it myself, but I'm not allowed to. What would it look like? Let's take the simplest useful scenario I can think of: building a class library that is delivered as a NuGet package.

I go to http://ciaas. I create a new project. I point it at my GitHub repo. It spends a few seconds looking at my repo. It sees that I have a few things there it knows how to build: a .sln file, an .msbuild file, some .csproj files, some .ps1 scripts. I choose the .msbuild file.

It shows me a list of the targets in the file (or maybe just lets me type in the target I want to run). It starts a build so it can show me the output. I chose the output files that I want to make available as artifacts (in this case, the .dll files and the .nupkg files). I have a URL I can give to folks that shows builds, status, and where they can download the artifacts.

ciaas emails me when there are problems. It has feeds for people to subscribe to.
