rubygems-test is a testing facility for gems. It provides several
features:

* A replaced 'gem test' command that leverages rake and an opt-in
  system, via the gemspec, that allows authors to indicate what gems
  can be tested by end users.
* The ability to upload the verbatim test results to
  http://www.gem-testers.org, a sister site used to collect and
  aggregate these reports.
* Configuration facilities to run 'gem test' automatically and to
  uninstall gems with failing tests. (These are not the defaults)

More info:
https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems-test/blob/master/README.txt

We need your help testing these features and the
http://www.gem-testers.org site. If you have time, run:

$ gem install rubygems-test
$ gem test rubygems-test

(may require sudo)

On your platform(s) of choice, and could post any adverse results you
receive to me directly or the list, I'd greatly appreciate it. We've
been beating on it for a few months now, but this is the first large
scale test. Ensure you have 0.2.0, which should be mirrored by now.

There are some issues on Windows still and they're still being worked
out. The tests *should* run and pass however, just with additional
warnings about double-requires. I should resolve these before the
week is out.

Additionally, if you have concerns about how testing is facilitated or
suggestions, please feel free to reply to list, me directly, or use our
tracker:

http://github.com/rubygems/rubygems-test/issues

Comments welcome! We are aiming for a more public release this
weekend, and we're hoping to iron out the last of the major bugs
before then.

Thanks for your time!

-Erik
