Wayne, The testing community has been looking at establishing a "beta test" project that would be geared toward focusing the energies of the community on finding issues in the OpenSolaris product. This would augment the shotgun approach being used now. Some of the things this project could do are: - develop a list of use cases that anyone could perform and provide feedback - develop a list of tests, test cases and test automation for use in testing - get input from developers, testers and the community on what to focus on for each build - develop a simple beta test cycle process that focuses the project members and broader community on key old and new features needing testing per build Through your emails you have demonstrated that you are following each new release very closely and continue to provide good feedback. Would you be interested in helping to lead such a project? I'm sure there are others that could help lead also, and I think there are many people that would be interested in contributing to it.
