We are our best supporters ;-) more seriously, Matt has offered to 
answer the questions we may have so if we don't find the answer by 
ourselves, we'll ask him. Jean-Baptiste will write some documentation 
during the week end on the process and I'll translate it on the wiki so 
I hope we will be able to answer most of your questions.

See above, we need to help ourself here :) Don't hesitate to ask your 
questions because that will help us to write the documentation 
(unfortunately the users documentation is not available on the Litmus 
site [1]).
For your other question concerning the linking of test documents, as 
said in the previous mails there could be different solutions, and we 
need to decide together the one we choose.
Would you open a Litmus wiki page with all your questions? We will add 
also Rimas concerns concerning the naming, and everything that will be 
reported by the testers. I hope with this we will be able to build the 
process that best fit our needs.
As a side note, I'm also in quest of some sponsoring to manage the tool 
but with no answer for the moment (but I keep my fingers crossed ;)
