Thanks for the rest your response Chris, especially regarding how you view
the role of QA.

We should probably talk off-list, because the example of AFTv5 is a red
flag to me that says volunteer QA would likely not be useful to my team. It
is the kind of project perhaps most dissimilar from how E3 operates. But it
sounds like much of my objections are E3-specific here, rather than
applicable to all use cases.

Thanks,

Steven
