I agreed to test this because it is a way to give back to this
fantastic operating system. I do not program, so I must give back in
other ways. This is one way I can help Ubuntu.

The fact that the results were looked at weekly was great. Also the way
Alberto Milone and Bryce Harrington kept us informed about the status
was very helpful.

Let the users know, it could take between 1 hour and 5 hours to do the
testing, depending on their equipment. Users could report back by email
when bugs are found, or developers could be looking at the tracker
results for the bugs daily. There seemed to be a lag between the bug
being reported and listed, and the developers knowing about it.

No, I would do well organizing it, but have difficulty keeping such a
project going.
