[QA] Introduction

[Željko Filipin]

Hi Nick!

Please also join #wikimedia-releng IRC channel, it's a good way to
communicate real time.

I agree with Elena that Selenium page is a good starting point. I am not
sure I agree with her about QA page. A lot of data there might be obsolete,
so proceed with caution.
