+ 1. Enhance (or rewrite) the automated integration testing of the server components (see existing: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc-server-test). Features that need to be added:
+  a. Test multiple project configurations (default versus GDPR enabled project) using a shared suite of tests and per configuration tests
+  a. Tests and configurations should be stored in the main BOINC repository (easier to add new tests alongside new code)
+  a. Needs to run on Travis CI Ubuntu image
+ 1. Integrate GTest Framework into main BOINC repository. Main difficulty is to merge the autoconf based build system with the cmake system gtest uses.
