Hi all,

I've drafted a feature spot for the test community here:

http://opensolaris.org/os/project/website/content/home_page_draft_24

Let me know what you think.

My impressions, if I may...

- The picture is nice, but I'm not sure if it conveys anything.  Most
of the graphics up till now have conveyed a particular style, and now
we have this picture.  Actually, that may not be so bad, but it looks
like a small group of computers, and downplays the fact that there are
more resources available (virtualization = lots and lots and lots).
Is there a "Cabinet 02" or a "OSTF02?"  I dunno, could just be me.

Probably not just you, the first graphic is usually scrapped in early feature spot reviews, this is likely no exception :) I try to mix it up (graphics, screenshots, photos) to keep it interesting, so I started with a photo for this one since we've had a few weeks of illustrations. Let me know if you've seen something that conveys something more and I'll add it to the draft, meantime I'll poke around for a better one.

- I'm not sure, but does "many resources including" need a colon?  Or
maybe a mix of semi colons because aren't the first three items also a
sublist?

Good catch, I've added a colon and separated into two sentences, let me know if you think it is better/worse.

- The last sentence seems a big over the top.  "High Quality"
conversation?  It's clever, but is it too much? He who would pick a
pun...  Those QA folk, always wise-cracking.  I dunno, could just be
me.  I'm just wondering if something different could be said to end
strongly.

Yes, you are right, if I'm stuck or it is late in the day, I often write something cheeky and just get it out for review, warts and all. I like your suggestion below, so I've added it to the current draft, let me know what you think.

Regards,
Michelle

- Maybe a little more punch about the test farm being "open"
resources, matured test suites, and pretty automated -- from resource
request to testing within minutes?  No offense, but here' a chunk o'
Sun process that works great, works fast, is a thriving and well led
group, and is virtually outside the SWAN...  I guess I didn't use a
semicolon just there so maybe ignore the second bulletin.
