-This is a place holder for an-depth info on the l10n thunderbird 1.5 testing day. For more information on what to do, this will to some extent mimic what QA did at [[Mozilla_QA_Community:ThunderBird_1.5_RC2_Community_Test_Day]].
+= Welcome to the Thunderbird 1.5RC2 Community Test Day! =
-Feedback will be gathered on the Discussion page to this one.
+The test day will be held on December 20th, 2005.  It will run from '''9am PST/12pm EST until 5pm PST/8pm EST''' Our goal is to leverage the community to help us download and install Thunderbird RC2 candidate builds for all of the various locales. We've already had a test day for the en-US bits. Today is dedicated for the other locales.
+We will be using the Litmus testing tool to keep track of the work for the locales for this event.  The url to navigate to is http://litmus.mozilla.org/.
+Please see the FAQ below for specific instructions on how to test using the Litmus tool, and other instructions about how to join the IRC channel and interface with other members of the Mozilla testing community.

+=== How do I file bugs? ===
+First of all, let one of the moderators know so they can check if it is already a known problem.  Then they can guide you to either provide more details, [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/index.cgi update an existing bug] or file a new bug.  If filing a new bug, please do a quick check to see if the bug already exists.  This can easily be done by searching for the error message, window name, or some over identifying feature of the bug.
+=== How do I send feedback? ===
+Please use the [mailto:testday@mozilla.org] to send feedback about how the testday went, any overall thoughts about Thunderbird 1.5 RC2, and roll up of issues found and bugs filed.  We really appreciate your help today and your feedback is very valuable.
+If you have issues with a particular testcase in Litmus, please take the time to add a comment to your test result indicating what is broken or unclear.
