We are working in a CI environment, with Enterprise Cruise running our builds. Developers all have CCTray installed locally to notify us if a build breaks.
CCTray has a menu option Volunteer to fix build that you can use to let your team know that you are fixing the build. However this doesn't work in our environment (reasons: Fix build not currently supported on projects monitored via HTTP).
So the question is - does anyone have a technique that they use in their team that allows someone to indicate that they are fixing a broken build?
Shooting "I take it guys" is my prefered. ( in addition of the responsability romaintaz describe )
