Hi, for our project we have a sizeable amount of manual test cases for OpenOffice.org (created by professional test engineers). These are used for internal and user tests before a release. If there's a serious interest in it, I might be able to arrange a release of these test cases under a free license (creative commons?). They are written in German, though, and would need to be translated first.
