[Testing] Community-based testing of OLPC activities

[Samuel Klein]

The trac manager would be fine for the database end.

We do not plan to have more than one public wiki. The trac wiki was long 
ago migrated to the olpcwiki.  We can implement an olpc-specific ticket 
extension as needed; simplest would be <trac>4718</trac>, similar to our 
gitweb extension.
