Instead of using hudson, we're using buildbot here.

I didn't know that tool, I will look at it.

You can find daily cppcheck runs at:
http://fezile.reactos.org/cppcheck/. I'm currently working on
configuration to get runs more and more accurate.

Since most of the ReactOS is not documented, or not documented in a
doxygen way, this would require high amount of time. Especially since
running doxygen takes times on ReactOS.
But at least, this sentence raises a good ReactOS problem:
documentation. A real effort should be done on that point.

As a reminder, you can find daily doxygen output at:
http://doxygen.reactos.org/

This could be indeed a good idea... Problem is old code in quite bad
shape.

As a reminder, we also have a coding style guide available here:

This is somehow what we have with testman, even if it should probably be
improved to get more results.

As a reminder, you can find testman at: http://www.reactos.org/testman
