Hi Tanel. Your right cadence weeks is a great time to be involved. It 
looks like I made the new page last week but never linked it from the 
schedule :-(

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Cadence/Raring/Week8

I'm sorry! I've fixed that now so you can see what's going on. 
Regardless, as phill mentioned, this week we're going to be focusing on 
beta1 testing and testing of the normal daily images for ubuntu. I would 
like us to look at upgrade testing especially close, especially via the 
live image by running through the installer.

I've also made a milestone on the packages tracker, where I would 
possibly like to sneak in a preview of testing the new ubuntu core apps 
later in the week if everything pans out. ATM, beta1/daily images are 
the focus.
