I guess the next thing to do would be to work out some list of testers, what they are testing and a checklist that can be used to check against each build/release. The wiki would be a good place to list the testers and the what area is being tested, I'm not sure that the checklist of "it works or not" would be good in the wiki. <div>
<br></div><div>For me, this kind of user testing needs to be reported on a easy to edit and use system. I did find a checklist program for redmine[1] which you could have with a list of things to check off for each release, or you could use something like Google Docs and have a spreadsheet with columns: Feature | Version X.x | Current Build | Comments with the rows having values like: working; broken; N/A etc.</div>
<div><br></div><div>You could then have:</div><div><br></div><div>Print Composer</div><div><br></div><div>Feature | Version 1.7.3 | Current Build | Comments</div><div>Printing | Working | Broken | See issue #xxxx for notes</div>
<div>Legend | Working | Working | </div><div>...</div><div>...</div><div><br></div><div>Thoughts?</div><div><br></div><div>Apparently there are things out there that handle this kind of user testing but I have found any open source/free ones that look good.</div>

</div>I also subscribe and as I said I know two other persons (not members of<br>
this list, but heavy QGIS users) that are willingly to subcribe too.<br>
