Hi Robert,

it's nice to have only one site for all the stuff. Some little feedback:

* when adding a new branch to an existing silo and then reconfiguring
it, before one could easily see if the reconfigure step was successful
or not, depending if the new MR would show up on the dashboard or not.
Now, adding it will always make it appear there and in order to see if
it really ended up in the silo config, I think one needs to either check
the configure job's history to find out.

* I find it a little harder to find my silos in bileto, I think that's
partially because the list has less spacing than the entries in the
dashboard had, but also because bileto still shows my old, already
landed silos.

Would be nice to get some improvements for those over time.

Thanks a lot,
Michael
