[QA] GSOC Proposal for screenshots hack

[Vikas Yaligar]

Hello Quim , Zeljko

  Sorry for late reply. Here is the status:

  I have been talking to Aharoni and Zeljko about the problem statement.
Also Aharoni had given me small tasks related to project of writing some
tests to Visual editor related to User guide. I wrote the test for reusing
an existing reference[1]. Also soon I will add "Editing an existing
reference"[2]. After writing one test, I found some of the missing browser
test for visual editor from User guide are:

* Addition of caption to media

* Gallery

* Editing Templates

* Edit categories

* Page settings

After I am done with reference getting reviewed. I will start with above,
after consulting Chris(as he wrote most of the vi browser test).
