Thanks Jochen for asking about testing process, and thanks for helping with the testing.
Regarding capturing comments about testing: 1. If you find an issue with an application, please raise a bug report [1]. 2. If you find a major issues with documentation, that should be added as a bug report as well. [1] You might want to discuss your thoughts about a documentation idea on the OSGeo-Live email list first. If the issue is not resolved, then raise a bug report.
