As for retesting.

You can view the channel logs from today to see a conversation we had about 
testing.
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/fluid-work+IRC+Logs-2010-04-14

In short, we are going to just rerun the unit tests for keyboard-a11y and the 
affected components. Also rerun just the keyboard a11y tasks for those 
components in a single demo of each version of the component (e.g. grid 
reorderer, simple text inline edit, rich text inline edit, and etc.) in each 
configuration. Michelle also had the suggestion of mixing up which demo we run 
in different configurations. For example in winxp ie 7 we would do the simple 
text inline edit example from the demo portal, in mac os 10.6 ff 3.6 we would 
run the sakai announcements integration example.

Hopefully we will be able to get all that done fairly soon.
