If you have tests that can be split out into easily run, stand-alone
test cases, then yes! As you can see from the wiki page, we're
somewhat
lacking for testcase ideas at the moment.
OK, will kick of some ideas there. Do you
have any guideline on how to
implement those tests? Will it be written using AutoQA or Beaker? Where
to submit and commit those tests? I am also CC'ing Adam here to see what's
his opinion.
