showing we still need some help on amd64+mac, along with some test for

ARM hardware consider also pitching in a result this week if your able :-)
I know Tobias is still working on results for wubi as well, and I can help
with the cd boot helper tests. That just leaves us with the amd64+mac
builds to test. Does anyone have mac hardware who is willing to test an
install for this iso?

it. A failed to install is still a valid result!

the course of a non-milestone week, with the intent of insuring the
mandatory testcases for those isos pass. I know this has been a difficult
thing to understand, and sadly, right now the isotracker doesn't allow us
to do this testing in a nice and easy to see way. We plan to fix this by
allowing you to better browse history but for now we'll have to work-around
the limitation (BTW, if anyone knows drupal and wishes to help land this
quicker, I would be happy to help set you up. We can always use more
developers!).

The page is located here.

ISO testing is going to continue to be something for all of us to iterate
upon and improve to make better. We as a community want to provide solid,
dependable results and good feedback, while still being mindful of our
efforts and time spent. Thanks,
