Hello and welcome!  It sounds like you've got a lot of Ubuntu and QA
experience already, which is fantastic!

Thanks for the attention to detail.  It seems to me that this list
(ubuntu-qa) is the best one to point people to for the time being, so
unless anyone else objects, please feel free to update the documentation
on the wiki.

Excellent!  Please speak up if you have any questions or suggestions,
either here or in #ubuntu-testing on Freenode. And ISO testing will
start up next week for Lucid Alpha 2 -- we can *always* use more help
testing the ISOs.  (Hint, hint ;) )
