"the channel" where we hang out is an IRC channel. You'll need to
install an IRC client, but will then be in a live chat room with a
good number of the team members. If you need help getting setup, let
us know. You can also participate in testing without being in the
channel, but for quick answers to questions that come up, it's the
best place to be.

Hi Leah,
Not sure if anyone answered you, but here's how to get started with
Fluid testing.
1) Go to http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Release+Testing+Tasks
and look on the task list for a test you would like to do - start
with High priority testing. For instance, you may want to pick the
first task on the list (which is at the moment, Image Reorderer,
Firefox 3.5, Mac OSX 10.5). Obviously you want to pick a test that
is in line with the computer setup you have already if you can, but
we can help with tasks like setting your computer up to test using
more than one IE version, multiple Firefox versions, older versions
of Flash, or whatever if you need that help.
2) Grab the task and put it on your task list. The easiest way to do
that is to edit the page and move the task from the main task list
on to your list on the right side (I set one up for you). If that
doesn't work for some reason, just email us and let us know what you
are working on so that someone else doesn't do the testing at the
same time. ***the task list page is often flaky, so if you don't see
any tasks, reload.
3) Go to http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Testing+Fluid+Components
. Have a quick read through of this page to get some idea of what
you will need to do if you find bugs, etc.
4) Then find the component test plan wiki page using the right hand
menu on Testing Fluid Components. For instance you will find the
image reorderer test plan wiki page here: http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Reorderer+QA+Test+Plan+-+Image+Reorderer
. Follow the test plan as outlined on that page.
5) When you are done testing, check off the task on the Testing
Tasks page.
When I got started, I had lots of questions as I didn't know how the
components were supposed to work and I wasn't sure sometimes exactly
what the task on the test plan meant...so hang out in the channel
and ask lots of questions. If you find something that seems like a
bug, Justin and others may already be familiar with it, so you can
also ask, as well as check in the JIRA's to see if the bug was
already reported (Justin usually likes to know if a new bug is
found, so it's always a good idea to let him know anyway!)
Hope this helps you get started.
