It sounds like you want to build it all from scratch, quite a lot of
work to build a fully featured web build system,
in this case compatibility to other systems would be nice.


For web builds with bitbake, Jenkins-CI (a fork of the continuous
integration system Hudson) [1] could be worth a look,
it is more than just a build tool.

There is also Autobuilder, but I guess for end users it is too much
configuration effort?
Jenkins-CI was very easy to setup and with a plug-in it could be as
simple as pointing the web-UI to the Bitbake path,
managing cluster/cloud/slave-pc entities is easy too.

Just my 0.02 cents in the case that you didn't already cast it in concrete.
IMHO it looks like Jenkins and the concept-pdf are very similar,
only difference seems to be: you want to invent it all by yourself?
