Toaster
Toaster is a web-based interface to the Bitbake build system and the Poky distribution inside the Yocto Project. This project was formely known as Web Hob / Webhob / webhob, and you may still find references to the old name in the documentation.

User interface
The design of the Toaster user interface takes place in iterations, and most recent designs supersede older ones.
The latest iteration is always available at: http://www.yoctoproject.org/toaster
Detailed design documentation is attached to Bugzilla features. Features with design documentation attached have "GUI design available" written in the Whiteboard field, so it is easy to search for them.
Toaster 1.7 scope and design discussions
We are currently planning work for the Yocto Project 1.7 release. Get involved.
Architecture and component design
We are planning the capabilities of Toaster based on evolutive stages of implementation, using community feedback on each stage to plan, design and implement a set of capabilities for the next stage. In the first stage, synchronized with the planning of Yocto Project 1.5 release, we implemented the back end of a build analysis / image inspection module. As part of the Yocto Project 1.6 release, we are building a web-based graphical user interface for the build analysis / image inspection module.
Toaster is designed as a collection of components that will run independently performing isolated functions. The interfaces between components are documented on this wiki as to ease interoperability with newer components. From design phase, we've taken care to account for further expansion needs, and account for scalability problems.

Different approaches to multi-user workflows
This document outlines the different approaches we have uncovered so far to facilitate multi-user and team work with Web Hob.
Visualisations index
The build analysis functionality in Web Hob will include several graphical presentations of build data. The first step to design them is listing them all.
