It would be good if all testing frameworks were fairly consistent. I believe a project is going to be set up to coordinate this. > I'm a little surprised by this altogether, actually.

The long term goal for this is to integrate with code review, and to have a general selenium test suite for MediaWiki. We are in the initial stages for planning how selenium will fit in with the MediaWiki development process, and we welcome all input. If you, or anyone, want to be included in the planning process, let us know. I was asking if we had a planning page so that we can keep this public and get input from all of the developers. Here's the small of amount of documentation we currently have: http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Resources#Interaction_testing_automation http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Selenium_architecture_diagram.svg Respectfully, Ryan Lane
