Test plans
We currently don't have a formal test plan for Dextrose. We're looking for someone to help us coordinate our QA effort. These are some useful starting points:


 * SoaS V4 Activity Test Table (2010)
 * 0.88 test plan from Paraguay Educa (incomplete, 2010)
 * OLPC 8.2.0 (aka os801): Test Cases, Test Results (obsolete, 2008)
 * OLPC testing matrix (obsolete, 2007)
