I have a few things left to implement, which I've mentioned in the first
mail. Will do that and then upload the site.

No problems at all. It's just a half-hour job to shift the drupal instance
from my local system to the belenix server. It took the same duration for
getting the belenix website from the genunix server to my system. Moving
around drupal sites is easy. Just need to copy the files, migrate the
database, change configuration, setup cron, check paths, and some php
configuration options.

Well I'll be ready to take it live as soon as the work is finished. Expect
that to happen in at most 1-2 days.

That's a great idea. Although I've done lot of testing, there's always some
random use case left out so Yes, testing the site is crucial as it will help
find bugs. I've done everything on Firefox 3 and tested it on Firefox 2 and
IE 6/7 till now but will test it on Safari, Opera 9.5 as well before
launching. We can fix up a time after the website is live. :)

This is a really good idea. Although I haven't really done unit testing for
a website before, I agree that we should do it for automatically testing
robustness. We can go a step forward in the near future by setting up a
hudson server. I've heard of HTMLUnit and JWebUnit and that sites like
LinkedIn use it. I've not known Sahi, but if you know it then well and good.
I will prepare a list of all use cases probably on the genunix wiki (if
that's ok), so that people can add more too, once I'm finished with the
website work left.
