[Testing] Community-based testing of OLPC activities

[Kim Quirk]

Yes... we did ask Danny (our Sysadmin) to try and load the 'test case
manager' Trac extension and there were issues. I think it was SVN
based or something(?). I thought that would be the quickest path to a
test case mgmt system.

Copy Danny - do you remember what the issues were with the trac extension?

Thanks,
Kim
