Zone is a good idea if we want to run it for ourselves only. But just
like with Jira and Confluence there likely be other projects who'd
like to jump on it as well, so there's a benefit to the shared
infrastructure. Maybe we should ping infra about it, and proceed
putting it on the zone if nobody expresses interest in deploying a
integration build server. BTW, there's an Anthill thread going on the
infra list right now - we may join the discussion.
On the other hand Cayenne has special testing requirements (such as
access to multiple, often obscure, database engines), so maybe an
isolated install is the way to go. I think having a Cayenne zone is a
great idea regardless whether we use it for continuous integration or
not.

I was gonna try Continuum some time ago, but the documentation was
lacking and confusing, so I quickly lost interest. My vote would be
for a commercial product.
