Well, usability testing should be carried by the Design team, I think.

Yeah, bugs will be found by actual users ;) The idea is that SugarLabs
itself provides Sugar, and Sugar isn't really a runnable product, it
needs to be packaged and shipped inside a distro. So users will get a
distro, use Sugar, and report bugs to their distro bug tracker. Then
the distro bugsquad will file the relevant tickets in our tracker and
our bugsquad will take care of that. Sounds fun, doesn't it? ;)
