Assuming here that we're going to be wanting some testing done on this, 
I'd love to know when there's something half workable a testcase can 
start to be written from it.

Once again - assuming that it will need testing - the sooner the better.

Do we need to test this at all? If so - above applies ;)

My assumption here for both Catfish and Parole, is that existing testing 
effort and testcase are good for these.

Please make sure to send a new mail to the list, with installation 
instructions - as soon as a workable version is available we can move to 
getting testing started.

Though I'd like to know what 'significant testing' you want to see on this.
