Goals

Make it easier for new testers to get started
Help integrate testers into the community
Make testers feel valued and encourage them to keep testing
Encourage participation in special events (testdays, pre-release testing, etc...)

Initial setup
- Helps users get setup with an account if they don't already have a Litmus account. Provides an introduction to Mozilla QA.
Running tests
- Select a testing area. Mozilla QA can push recommended areas to users to test around new code/features.
- Run a test, select a result, next test is shown
- Positive feedback to users: you've run this many tests, top testers of the week, etc...
Community aspects
- Joga-style notification of special testing events, linking directly to the relevant set of tests and IRC

Direct link to IRC
David Hamp, a student at Seneca, was working on some kind of Litmus extension but didn't have much time to devote to the project. Zach has an email into him to determine what he's done and whether he's interested in working more on this.

Extension presents a separate interface to Litmus different than that of the website. Is this a problem?
Just Firefox, or allow Thunderbird/calendar/etc... testing through the extension?
