Hello,

since I am using vagrant with the salt provisioner I noticed quite a few 
breakages that could have been caught quite easily had someone actually 
exercised the code with some standard settings on the mainstream distros. I 
understand that vagrant is a ruby project and that the ruby based 
provisioners get more love. It's o.k. I don't complain :)

As an example: Vagrant + Salt + Windows remains broken for over a year now 
(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/vagrant-up/bestwalter/vagrant-up/kY8IVXrKTBA/t5sHKuLSDAUJ)

I would really appreciate some information to help me get started with 
testing:

1. I am at home in Python and my complete knowledge of Ruby comes from 
writing Vagrantfiles, so my capabilites there are still quite limited, but 
I would really like to be able to run the development version of vagrant 
from my clone on the Linux host, to test fixes and reproduce bugs. I got 
the testing to run like described in the README, but I am at sea how to use 
the local vagrant clone to spin up boxes. Is there a Howto for people like 
me who are not conversant in the ruby ecosystem yet?

2. What kind of testing do you have in place to ensure the provisioners 
work correctly. Is there something automated in place already? I am pushing 
this topic in the salt community to integrate wndows vagrant boxes as part 
of testing Windows in Salt development. The other side of the equation 
would be to spin up windows vagrant boxes using the different provisioners 
with the development branch of Salt to ensure that no regressions creep in.

3. How is the release process for vagrant? Do you have roadmaps, release 
dates, release candidates?

thanks
Oliver
