The past day I've seen a hand full of i18n related bug reports that mention WTA. I've replied to most, and also asked what WTA was. No replies yet. In total there have been some twenty reports, I think,
I found something on Chris McMahons talk page, and just found Chris' blog post on it: http://chrismcmahonsblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/weekend-testing-for-wikipedia-... limking to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/QA/WTA_Test_Plan. Noting in this mailing list's archive, though.
Most of them seemed related to content or of relative low quality accusing them not to be immediately actionable (missing details like steps to reproduce, observations and expectations, or screenshots).
I like the initiative. I do wonder if it could have been embedded in the community more. Any comments?

I agree. This is the first I've heard of it either.

My apologies, I should have publicized this.
WTA is "Weekend Testing (Americas)" http://weekendtesting.com/ . This was an experiment in a guided community testing effort. This is something I would like to do more of, and the timing to work with WTA was good.
I'll summarize the results and next steps here soon.
