retries and email notifications is a good one. Currently I do something similar with cronjobs, rsync, shell scripts and some custom tools -- on multiple boxes. (Email notification with mailx) Works in theory pretty well, in practice race conditions become a problem, making it sometimes annoying because I need to run things manually when I need up to date processed data. If I had retries, this would be an improvement.

Got ya. Please voice your opinion about the priority in which features should be implemented by submitting a feature request at https://github.com/Factual/drake/issues, or +1'ing an existing one.

There are so many potential features to be added to Drake, and a lot of them have already been thought about and spec'ed out, that we need some sort of a way to figure out what to do first.

Of course, if you'd like to actively contribute, we'd be ecstatic.

Artem.
