Vision: Create a a rational, valuable, integrated QA/test process based on risk and requirements. Use labs cluster wikis for world-shareable feature testing both manual/exploratory and via automated UI testing. Use existing shared Windows VMs on WMF VPN for WMF-shareable cross-browser testing, both manual/exploratory and via automated UI testing.

tl;dr: much is waiting on the git migration would very much like to have labs cluster updated to trunk (or 1.20 branch) automatically via Jenkins. working with Antoine on this

I only have access to 1 (ie7) of 6 WMF VMs (ie6, ie7X2, ie8, ie9, ubuntu). working with Andrew on this
