Is there a link to a document somewhere that explains "Test Writing Day"? What is the purpose, what happens, how does one get involved, etc.? I assume the name is somewhat self-explanatory but the extended discussion here makes me think my first guess was wrong. I browsed the top level of the web site but didn't see anything.
Thanks.

I clarified the dates in IRC earlier when I realized there was confusion on the dates, but I neglected to send a follow-up email to the lists. Liam, I don't know how you want to proceed on re-scheduling or not, but I think it's fine to continue today.
