Jacob, I think covering more of the code with unit tests and getting
the idea of testing closer to the WordPress culture would be a better
idea than a continuous integration system. There is no point of
running tests every hour if there are no, or rarely/poorly written
tests.

Happy hacking,
Nikolay.
