8.2.1 test plan finalized (next: test cases need finalization)

[Mel Chua]

(The intent of this email is to make "what's going on with 8.2.1 
testing" as transparent as possible.)

I checked after the 8am work estimate cutoff, and made sure that the 
test plan matched up with the trac tickets listed at [[Eco/8.2.1]] - as 
of right now, it does. (Sweet!)

I believe that means that we can consider the list of test cases here as 
final (Joe/Kim, please holler if I'm incorrect): 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Test_cases_8.2.1 (Note that this doesn't mean 
the test cases themselves are final - they're very rough! It does, 
however, mean that these test cases are the ones that will exist.)

I'll talk with the developers assigned to these 9 tickets and make sure 
that we have final test cases (or at least a plan for how to develop 
one) before Thursday's test community meeting, and see how close we can 
come to getting work estimates for each test case that's finalized.

Help on this would be quite welcome; catch me on IRC (#olpc, freenode, 
mchua) if you'd like to pitch in, or email me if you'd like to take over 
the job (there's no reason this should be a Mel-specific task).
