Next week sounds great!

There's always a catch! :-)

Fair enough. All the info about tests will probably live on the wiki,
and I expect that I'll always have a local copy of any test data that
we shove into the system.

Please try to give us as much of a heads-up as possible about the VM
going down for updates, so that we can wrap up any in-progress
testing.

Well it's a bit more exciting when your system can magically disappear
at any time, isn't it?  If you want to help us remember, you could
name the VM something like 'volatile' or 'unstable' :-)

I'll chat with Jonathan and we'll come up with a game plan for
testing. We'll probably do a little prep work and get familiar with
the tools on the volatile VM, then once there's a stable VM, we'll
invite more people to the testing party.
