I might be able to provide some general comments though if I knew more about the product. So for those of us unfamiliar with the history of Nitrate, could you please answer the following:
- What is the history of Nitrate and the Fedora Project? What does the Fedora project expect to gain from using it?
- Is a sample play/sandbox test instance with more-or-less full access available online?
- How does Nitrate compare to other open & closed sourced TCMS solutions? Why was it written as opposed to using an existing solution, and what are its straights & weaknesses?
- Is test case & test plan import and export (to XML, etc.) support available? If so is this compatible with any other TCMS's import/export system?
- Are nested test plan and/or test case hierarchies supported?
- Can multiple projects share test cases, and even reference older versions of test cases if they are lagging behind the current rawhide/Fedora release? Will Spins be able to make their own (simultaneously running) test plans?
- How long will historical test case results be made available?
- Is there any plan to tie this into Bodhi and other tools to detect updated packages that may imply test cases need re-running and/or updating?
- Is this going to be available as a Fedorahosted service like Trac is? If so will all the instances be able to share test cases?
- Is there any concern that changing test tracking systems may encourage/discourage existing testers to participate?
Thanks in advance for your time.

Greetings!
Wiki workflow/use cases are reorganized and grouped by general and main
test events(runs) use cases. The general cases cover the basic uses of
wiki, and the events cases covers the detailed certain steps for
organizing the events.
Please review it:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Rhe/tcms_use_cases
Meanwhile, Wiki and Nitrate comparison is also listed and grouped by
above use cases. I've listed as many features as I can think out for
comparison. Please have a look and see if any features are missed. You
can review it by the use case you're familiar with if reviewing all of
them is tough, but be aware that features compared in former use cases
are not listed in later cases again to avoid overlaps:

Ticket#152[1] is currently set up for tracking this event. Feel free to
add comments or discuss it here.
Note: the feedback deadline is Jan 21, the end of this week. After that
date, I'll move forward to the next phase.
Waiting for your feedback!
Cheers,
Hurry
