 > Can people with no code-writing capabilities also join your testing
 process?

 Yes. We're still discussing specifics internally, but most likely the way
 this is going to work is that a set of urls with builds will get emailed
 out to all interested parties with a time limit to reply with feedback. If
 no feedback arrives within that timeframe, the build will be published
 anyway. So I think this means that we want to widen the net as far as
 people who volunteer to actually test builds, especially since it will
 also mean increased opportunity to test more OS versions, Antivirus
 versions, etc.

 However, long term, we're hoping to use this manual process to converge on
 an automated process, so people who also want to write test pages,
 auditing harnesses, and/or automate testing itself will be encouraged to
 do so.
