Recommendations on good CI framework to use? Hudson? Other?

I've had good luck with CruiseControl. It's based on ANT, so it's easy to write your build xml files for any language that you want... It also has builder support for Rake and a bunch of others (NANT, Maven, Phing and XCode, not to mention anything that can be run from the command line), so you should be good to go.

I would recommend Hudson. It's written in Java so it runs on most platforms, has a very pleasant web-interface and excellent usability, and plugins for Python and Ruby as well as supporting shell scripts out of the box. It integrates well with SCM - for example, it can be triggered by checking in changes to a repository. It has lots of useful plugins.

Re: Hudson plugins, even if the existing Python/Ruby plugins don't work the way you want, you can always write one. The plugin API is really easy to work with from what I remember. The last company I was at actually had an in-house developed plugin for compiling .Net code with Nant. One of our junior developers wrote it over the course of a couple evenings and said the docs were pretty good.

Hudson's at the top of our list. Good to hear the endorsement. Thanks.
