[Testing] Credits for OLPC's test case/results system, was Re: Fedora folks getting a crash course on Semantic Mediawiki forms tomorrow

[Seth Woodworth]

Joe, et al;

worked on a lot of the early Semantic MediaWiki installation,
integration and experimentation for the SMW implementation of the Test
Case system.
