 == '''How to Contribute''' ==
-When we go live this will be a complete set of instructions. For now, while we're in beta, a basic outline for the current project.
+Follow these basic instructions.
-*Interested participants will subscribe to an email alias for team communication.
+*Go to http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/communityqateam and subscribe to the group email list. This email group is for communication related to the community testing  project.
-*They will review the calendar and request days/builds they wish to test.
+*Testing schedule as follows:<br>Choose builds(s), day(s) and platform(s) to test:
-*The day they are scheduled to test, they will retrieve the appropriate build then execute the smoketest test cases from Litmus.
+**Firefox 1.5.0.x builds Monday, Wednesday and/or Friday
-*A results links page will be posted to show the test results reported in Litmus.
+*** Windows, Macintosh and/or Linux
+**Firefox Trunk builds Tuesday, Thursday and/or Saturday
+*** Windows, Macintosh and/or Linux
+*On the day(s) you're scheduled to test, retrieve the appropriate build, when it becomes available. Then go to http://litmus.mozilla.org, Create a run using the configuration for the build you are testing. Login (create an account if you don't have one) and submit test case results for the smoketests that you run. Use http://bugzilla.mozilla.org to search for or file any bugs you see in the build.  Ideally, we'd like to see the smoketests completed by 10:00 am Pacific Standard Time. But if that is not practicle for your schedule, submit results as early as you can.
+*Post to the group email any blocker bugs found.  We'll need to escalate any serious problems in builds that are untestable. Also, if you need help or have questions, ask in irc moznet #qa.
+*Check out your results from the links to Litmus searches at http://tbird.tbird.xsmail.com/public/resultslinks.html. I recommend bookmarking that link and setting up its properties to "Load this bookmark in the sidebar"
