I think I might be able to set up a nightly tester for Linux x86 (32- 
bit).

Although I've been following LLVM for quite a while now, I feel like I  
can't really contribute to it, because of lack of time and knowledge.  
Hopefully this way I can contribute...

I have some questions though:

*) Is something more expected besides donating cycles-to-burn, e.g.  
active bug reporting/resolving of bugs found by the nightly tester and  
such?
It's not that I'm not willing to (in fact, I'd love to), but I just  
wouldn't be able to find the time to do it properly. I try to report  
bugs I run into from time to time, but that's highly dependent on how  
busy I am doing my actual Phd work (to which LLVM is only partially  
related).

*) I'll probably need the machine for experiments now and then, I'm  
guessing it's ok the nightly test isn't run every single night?

greetings,

Kenneth
