My goal for OpenAFS for Windows is to release a stable build
approximately once a month containing new features.  As everyone has
probably noticed, over the last ten days there have been three releases
of OAFW.  One to introduce new features and performance improvements
(1.5.22) and two more in rapid succession to fix bugs (1.5.23 and
1.5.24) introduced in the feature release.  The bugs were introduced in
code paths for which I do not have sufficient test suites.  Eye ball
reviews of the source code changes by multiple developers familiar with
the code did not identify the issues.  The test suites I do have cover
most of the code paths used by typical Windows applications.  What I
don't have are scripts to test the non-Windows operations. 

I am looking for someone to step forward to spend several hours
developing a set of scripts that can be executed on a Windows client
that will test all of the fs commands, the symlink commands, as well as
basic operations such as directory creation, rename, deletion, and
traversal, file creation, rename, read, write, deletion, etc.   The
scripts can be written using the scripting language of your choice
whether it be perl, python, vbscript, etc.  I simply want something that
I can execute and which will report errors if unexpected behaviors
occur.  The idea is to expand the number of code paths that are tested
as part of any given release. 

If you can help, please contact me.

I will give a free copy of OpenAFS for Windows to the selected
volunteer.  :-)
