Our first priority is to test our whole workflow on testwiki. I see that MatchBot has the Flow-bot user right now, so are we good to go with testing creating a talkpage as a Flow board there?

I'd really like to see this on beta labs if possible, hopefully in advance of testwiki and particularly in advance of test2wiki.

Why, does QA usually get involved in testing bots and API calls? This isn't a user action amenable to browser testing.
(FWIW the way I tested it on testwiki is

* Open Firebug's [Net] tab.

* Add a topic or edit header.

* Copy the API request as cURL command line.

* Modify the command line to perform the operation on a new talk page.

* Success \o/
