We <3 automated tests!

Wonderful to hear from you Richard. We would love help on any of the 
automated test projects we have going on. There is some really cool work 
going on. Do check out the test writer page:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Roles/TestWriter

The official documentation for autopilot including tutorial is here: 
http://unity.ubuntu.com/autopilot/. There's a quick tutorial for a qml 
app too: 
http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/tutorials/quality/how-to-write-autopilot-tests/.
Finally, there's a video as well of writing tests for a couple of qml 
apps -- it's quite long, but covers everything from checking out the 
code to submitting the merge :-): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD_e_xqlBbg

Mostly, I would encourage you to pick a test or project to contribute to 
and dive in! Ask questions and we'll help. Getting your first merge 
proposal in is a wonderful feeling, and we're happy to help you do so. 
Feel free to show up on IRC at get realtime help as well. We're in 
#ubuntu-quality on freenode.

Thanks for wanting to help and welcome!
