[Mesa-dev] Interest in participating in the OPW with X.org

[Brian Paul]

Hi Juliet,

There's definitely work that can be done for Piglit.  For example, 
porting the old Glean tests to piglit's framework.

I suggest we move this conversation to the Piglit mailing list though. 
The list is piglit at lists.freedesktop.org and you can subscribe at 
http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/piglit
