OK I'm actually trying it out now and it really is fantastic!
Some feedback:
  - make it automatically display the current job in the "Jobs" pane 
(maybe a current project link that autorefreshes so you can always see 
the detail for the current project)
  - clicking Total Progress sometimes caused an error and wrote 
javascript into the document (not serious as you can reload)
What would be really nice as an enhancement is to be able to log all the 
output of build to a file, and be able to click on the link for a 
project / section but especially for an error, and see the actual output 
for that section. But you can usually do this manually anyway...
I also thought in the past when doing my builds, it would be nice to 
somehow record the average amount of time to do an initial build or a 
rebuild for a given project, and use that information to work out the 
overall progress (e.g. on Windows binfilter takes a long time to build 
but some projects are very quick)

Thanks for a great tool, already making my life easier today
