This is a great idea Kristian. There is some info on the Wiki, but maybe we
can make it more clear.
Perhaps you would like to help with this ? It is a community process after
all.

There are some links on the page I sent, but maybe it can be polished up to
attract the Cats ?

We will of course be positively testing (make sure it works) and negatively
testing (try to break it) all the 3.1 features quite soon, so we will need
this information.

Well, that is the great thing. The initial call for people in the community
was done from Oracle.
Judy has taken the role as test lead for Oracle WebLogic, but we still have
her support and help if need be.
