Andre Garzia wrote perhaps the most cogent statement of all threads on 
open source and quality concerns in the history of this list:

A lot of folks here share a good many opinions about quality, some about 
the unrealized benefits of open source process, and a few about both.

So now Andre has reminded us that the sum of these posts imply a sort of 
invitation:

Use the open source process to design, build, and deliver a framework 
for automated regression and soak testing, perhaps with a system which 
would allow other to provide additional modules to test other features 
whenever they have time to write them.

I have plenty of server space at revJournal.com, and as a site that 
bills itself as being "of, for, and by Revolution developers" it seems a 
natural home for such things.

revJournal.com will provide space and FTP access for any Revolution open 
source initiative which is able to get past the prototype stage.  Just 
let me know....
