This is the direction I feel we need to go in too, HTML/JS (at Garrett's suggestion) for widespread usability testing, knock together some interaction testing code and publicise the tests BIG style... Gather up data from humble users, performing a specific set of tasks which are challenging enough and enough like real life to build up decent data sets so we can tell what's wrong with it before we write _real_ code.
