I have posted some initial thoughts to:

http://wiki.openembedded.org/index.php/Testing

Please sign up for combinations you want to test.  Perhaps we can
automate this effort more with tinderbox at some point.

I realize this is all very manual compared to "continuous
integration", etc, but I really think OE needs dedicated testing
manpower, and having a somewhat "manual" process will encourage
interaction and I think overall be good for the project.

I'm certainly open to other ideas.

Thanks,
Cliff

great to see this finally happen, I remember we discussed this years ago.

I would start to make use of it right now. Starting with builds for armv6 and
armv4t. I would use a different distribution (minimal maybe) for one of the
builds at least to see how this behaves.

Did you ever build on a PowerPC? :-)
