I am just reading again the whole idea of test day, and I am realizing
that I mistaken the example of QA with what actually was wanted to
test for Marketing.

The concept about testing Insight Flow requires more understanding of
news, probably will not be so useful to have outsider, unless they
have some experience dealing with press/media. In any case I volunteer
to review this work flow.

I any case what I got is support from one small company for accessing
his lab with some volunteers. Also I got access to a university lab
and a bunch of IT students which where happy to give something
different to try. The access to business/markeing students got swamp
in bureaucracy, they haven't figure out who has to answer my request.

I can arrange with those IT student one test day for limesurvey. We
need to agreed dates and some sort of guide for them. I may write one
test-guide if there is nothing already done. Something like do a
survey using a, b, c, type of questions. The send invites. Answer
others peoples test. Go to build your statistics.

I will try to get hold of QA team to be on the loop with test days,
because the IT students got exited with the possibility of testing
alfa/beta. Maybe I can channelize that energy into something useful
for fedora. It is worth of exploring.

Sorry for the confusion. But at least I corrected myself and I think
those contacts may be useful some how in the near future.

Best regards
