Well, it's the standard open source development method :-)
People work on things that interest them much, and sometimes even on
things that block a release.
Having said that, we're always trying to have our trunk in a good shape,
so that it makes sense to not just start testing a week before a planned
release.
Many things should be tested continuously (well, every now and then will
do).
Another thing we should definitely work towards is getting our unit
tests up again, and have them executed after each release. I don't know
if Trac's Bitten could be used for this, or if we should prefer other
things like BuildBot.
I seem to remember there was work towards getting a BuildBot up and
running -- how much did that proceed?

This looks pretty nice, and may help with setting up reproducible test plan.
I guess we would set up testing cycles (for example monthly during
normal development, weekly in the month before a release), and see how
it goes then.
Maybe it's not necessary to test each thing the same number of times
when time is limited.
In any case, I'm looking forward to this.
Bye,
Axel.
