Hello there,
An official Fedora LiveCD is something we all are looking forward to
see in the Fedora
community. Kadischi will be the tool to create such a livecd.
Recently we got support from fedoraunity.org for testing Kadischi and
its product (the Livecd).
Unfortunately, we lack materials, precisely 64 bit hardware, to test
with Kadischi.
This is a call for fedora users/developpers/testers, to test kadischi
under 64 bit hardware, and file bugs against Kadischi in Bugzilla or
on the fedora-livecd mailing list.
I have a 64 bit box and would love to help test...
Thanks for helping :)

How about adding another link to the wiki near "documentation, FAQ, etc." which points to a test plan and some test cases? For a lot of projects we could lower the barrier to entry by providing suggestions on how and what to test. It isn't always necessary to have a complete understanding of how the package works in order to test it *if* you have good test cases with expected results. In my own experience I've learned a lot about packages I did not know very much about by following good test cases and what we refer to internally as "how to test" instructions.
I see three components required for community testing:
1) Time donated by community member
2) Hardware to install Fedora and run the tests on
3) Knowledge of the software
I believe there are many cases where a community member already has 2 of the 3 components above. Making it easier for them to acquire the third one benefits everyone :)
So, in my case, I have #1(time) and #2(hardware), but I don't have #3(knowledge). Because #1 is not in infinite supply and I'm interested in learning lots of other things, I'm not willing to spend #1(time) on acquiring #3(knowledge) to test this particular package.
HOWEVER, if #3 was not required because test cases and expected results were provided, I would be willing to provide #1 and #2 :-)
My thoughts here are not meant to single out Kadischi, but to think in terms of how we can increase community testing as a whole to increase quality and speed up the release cycle.
