We could copy /OpenSource/Tools/BuildSlaveSupport/build.webkit.org-config to /OpenSource/Tools/BuildSlaveSupport/test.webkit.org-config, and have a test build master that updates and outputs logs somewhere readable (public_html?).  Then, we could make sure any changes work on the test master before committing them to production.

Having a test master seems like a good idea. Doing it by keeping a complete second copy of the configuration checked in to SVN seems less than ideal.
