Thank you, this would be invaluable help! During the 0.84 cycle, I ended
up finding some very nasty bugs just a few days before the final release
because my testers either weren't real end-users of Sugar or did not
know how to report bugs.

I've been thinking of how to effective testing with end-users without
disrupting too much the work of teachers. Hopefully, we won't repeat the
same mistakes twice.

Yesterday, Tomeu and I talked about reviving the Bug Squad and I offered
to use the F11-XO1-0.88 series as a vehicle for testing some desirable
new features in a controlled fashion to ease integration. This is only
feasible at the beginning of the development cycle, of course.
