[Libreoffice-qa] test cases quality; was: Ubuntu/Canonical doing more manual testing for LibreOffice?

[Nicholas Skaggs]

I'm chiming in here just to mention that the ubuntu QA community, and
the ubuntu one qa folks are looking at using the "new tool" written by
mozilla called case conductor. It's the successor to litmus. How this
will fit into our workflow and testing needs in the future is still TBD.
If your group is interested, I'd like to include you in these
discussions and prototyping.
