Not entirely For example, I can't document a process described in that
manner. I certainly understand that we have to pick a set of core
activities that OLPC QAs, and that the rest is up to the developers or
a distribution that they submit their code to. But that means creating
and publishing a list, and also creating and publishing a test plan.
Among other things, every other activity developer has to know how to
test collaboration and Journal interactions properly.
