Hello,

I just wanted to make everyone aware of a discussion going on at the English Wikipedia. They are discussing changing the Main Page, not visibly, but just changing the page from a table based layout to one that is a little bit more modern. The discussion can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page#Proposal_to_implement_new_frame... _for_main_page

One of the things that came up during the discussion was testing the framework with a wide variety of browsers. A lot of the opposition to it that I could see came from the lack of testing. I feel like I remember us discussing here previously a framework for testing stuff across many browsers. If we have something of the like here, I think that it could be well deployed to help them out. No reason for them to re-invent the wheel or do all of the testing manually.

Thank you, Derric Atzrott Computer Specialist Alizee Pathology
