The next big step would be to trigger them whenever someone propose a
patchset in Gerrit or vote +2.  We have some scripts to setup a
MediaWiki locally and run the browser tests, but that proven to be a bit
unstable :-/

I am wondering how developer would feel with having browser tests
reported back to Gerrit.  Possibly has a different check so we dont have
to wait for them to complete before reporting all the other tests.

That is a nice idea.  We could then trigger them before releasing a new
tarball which will add some confidence.  There is a bit of script needed
there but that is definitely doable.

Oh I have done nothing beside requesting someone to write the
announcement :-]
