Manual Application Testing plans for beta1

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Chris, yes you should still file them locally. If the issue is an
upstream one (and not ubuntu specific), the bug should get upstreamed.
You may be asked to do this, or you can do this yourself if you wish by
opening a bug upstream and linking it to the lp bug. However, it's
important to report bugs to lp first, as they may be ubuntu specific.

On a semi-related note, I'm trying to help get some more libreoffice
tests for beta2.. the libreoffice team has been responsive so far, so
fingers crossed ;-)
