I've just finished preparing the first release candidate for MediaWiki 1.21 and I'd like your help testing it before the final release.
With a bit of planning we could have synced your call for testing with https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/QA/Weekly_goals
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.21 already shows the areas requiring more testing. Having step-by-step instructions to get a testable install e.g. in Labs would be the other piece of information useful for a QA Weekly goal page.
Do we still have time to do something orchestrated? When are you planning to release, more or less?
Please download the release candidate and test it. If you find any bugs please report them on Bugzilla[1] and make sure I am added as a CC so that we can fix any show-stoppers before the final release.
Finally, if you could also look over https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.21, I'll be using an edited version of that to make the final announcement. If you spot problems or areas that could use clarification, your help in improving it would be appreciated.
