Bug Description

There is a checkbox marked "Build daily" on the +new-recipe page. To someone already familiar with how daily builds work and with their jargon, this is likely to be enough.

However, we're introducing a new feature and the page is already lacking in text that would help establish context.

I suggest changing this label to "Automatically build each day, if the source has changed". Yes, it's long but there's plenty of space and I see no redundancy in the additional text.

The text should also make it clear that whether the box is checked or
not, you have the choice to kick off a manual build at any time.

Martin, I agree.

Tim, can we add an explanatory line that says, "You can manually request a build at any time"?
