People can get an RSS feed for all builds, failed builds, etc.

I don't understand why this is needed.

I don't understand why any web page development is needed. 
Hudson/Jenkins has a web UI already. Just open up a firewall portno for 
whichever portno it's listening on.

However, a nicer configuration would be to set "ci.squeak.org" to 
redirect to localhost:8080 (or whatever portno it's set to use).
