+        Toaster is a web interface to the Yocto Project's

+        The interface enables you to configure and run your builds.
+        Information about builds is collected and stored in a database.
+        You can use Toaster to configure and start builds on multiple

+                    You can use the Toaster web interface to configure and
+                    start your builds.
+                    Builds started using the Toaster web interface are
+                    organized into projects.
+                    When you create a project, you are asked to select a
+                    release, or version of the build system you want to
+                    use for the project builds.
+                    As shipped, Toaster supports Yocto Project releases 1.8
+                    and beyond.
+                    With the Toaster web interface, you can:
