Sounds interesting. ;) 

Do you have any ideas at this point what kind of resources you may
require for this? It's just basically a database of links to builds and
buildid's right? so I would imagine it's pretty small on disk space and
cpu. 

Do you think any of our caching tech would be useful here? 
(varnish, memcached). Or should the service be mostly stand alone?

How many people are working on developing/maintaining this? 

Thanks,
