Hi Nicholas! Welcome to the team :) I hope we have the chance to start collaborating with you soon. We are in need of as many hands as we can get in the QA team :) We are working on some tasks at the moment, not sure when you joined the list, so this will give you an idea: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/TasksPrecise We are making good progress in rewriting the test cases, reviewing the new tool we'll be installing (Case Conductor) and rewriting the wiki.
