The Testing.drupal.org page is badly outdated and almost entirely inaccurate. I would edit the page, but I lack permission to do so. Therefore I will list the the flaws here in hopes that someone else can fix or remove the page.

  • The page starts out with "We are currently raising money" but provides no contextual date reference.

  • The Chip In! widget is marked "Ended".

  • The second paragraph implies that the only thing being tested is Drupal 7 core, as it states that test results are reported in the "drupal.org Drupal 7 issue queue".

  • The third paragraph is in passive voice:

    General development ideas are usually blogged about before implementing large features.

    Whose development ideas? Whose blog? Who is implementing large features? I follow the link to find out, and see a post by boombatower declaring that he is no longer working on the testing architecture.

  • The fourth paragraph starts out with "during the last several months" but gives no contextual date reference.

  • Some (most? all?) of the items listed under "Final steps" have been completed.

  • The concluding paragraph states "I will begin work" but gives no clue as to whom is speaking. If, as I suspect, the un-named author is boombatower, the conclusion is in direct contradiction with his previously-linked blog.

"Some (most? all?) of the items listed under "Final steps" have been completed."

Which ones?

I dunno, actually. I suspect that the referenced PIFR/PIFT 2.0 has been deployed, but even if that section is entirely accurate, the rest of my objections remain.

OK, well, I edited with regard to the other points.

I also am having Druplicon "tell boombatower" about this. If anyone can update this, he can.

Oh! You edited the page! I guess this should be "needs review" then.

well, I didn't do everything you pointed out, and, someone with actual subject-matter expertise really should have a look, so, I'm setting back to still "needs work".
