bzr-svn tests on Windows

[Maritza Mendez]

Testing is obviously important.  And I think we've seen that several recent
releases of bzr (not to mention plugins) might have benefited from a more
coordinated approach.  But I respectfully suggest that the core team has
shown commendable openness and transparency.  So rather than speculate on
what Canonical is or is not doing on its own, perhaps some of the rest of us
need to step up more.

For my part, I am willing to do *end-user* testing* *of anything and
everything about "bzr on Windows" subject to only three simple and
reasonable understandings:

1.  I set my own schedule, as this is a labor for passion not pay.
2.  The developers continue, as they already do, to patiently explain how to
install the software, including dependencies.
3.  The test methods and any special scripts or tools are provided by the
developers.

I see a lot of progress recently, especially in the areas of release
management and issue triage.  Few FOSS projects can claim the commitment to
quality and transparency that the bzr core developers show every day.  Many
good things are happening and more are needed.  That takes a user community
willing to step up and fill gaps.

Sincerely
-M
