2. Sri Lankan teams members should each, on their first day:

    a) subscribe to testing at lists.laptop.org and please introduce 
yourself if possible:
    http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/testing
    b) create accounts on http://dev.laptop.org and http://bug.sugarlabs.org
    c) create separate Gmail or Yahoo email accounts if you want to 
protect your privacy above, use a Nickname so you're not shy about 
participating!
    d) register at http://wiki.laptop.org and edit a Wiki page like: 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Tabitha
    e) say hello and ask 1 serious question daily over Live Chat (IRC) 
at: http://forum.laptop.org/chat (never hesitate to ask -- freenode's 
#olpc-help is designed for this !)

3. Sri Lankan team members should spend 1 day in their 1st week thinking 
about being a kid (or teacher in a very poor country) playing around with:

    http://wiki.laptop.org/go/1_hour_smoke_test

4. Sri Lankan team will work with Tabitha/NZ/Aussies to edit/publish 
Test Cases they believe will help Kids & Teachers, of the form:

    http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Test_cases_8.2.0
    http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Test_cases_8.2.1
    http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Test_cases_8.2.2

    http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Test_cases_10.2.0

4. Tabitha will explain How To Write a "TRAC" bug/report on 
http://dev.laptop.org or http://bugs.sugarlabs.org :

    a) XO-type
    b) Build number
    c) status/topology of network:
    Ad Hoc/Mesh/Config/Topology -- lots of network testing possible on 
XO-1 w/o WAP ("create a new wireless network" on XO-1.5)
    BenS observes: wireless testing often not reproducible But That's OK!

template, providing tips to:

    a) enable logging
    b) collect logfile, attach to "TRAC" ticket at http://dev.laptop.org

6. James Cameron will guide advanced testing around XO-1.5 operating 
system and hardware, at http://dev.laptop.org/report/42 for details of 
tickets waiting for testing, work with developers through the ticket or 
devel at laptop.org mailing list: http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
