I think you are right, Brandon.

The build status link from http://mono-project.com/Contributing leads to
http://wrench.mono-project.com/builds, which is dead.

The website in general appears to be a mixture of unloved and advert for
Xamarin, which strikes me as wrong.    I will start another thread on the
general mailing list on that topic.


Cheers,
Bob
