SVG Torture Tests

Folks, with the US holidays coming up I think I'll schedule our first
working meeting for the SVG Torture Tests activity for next week.  I
added my second test this morning:

http://code.google.com/p/svgtorture/source/browse/#svn/trunk/unsorted

I encourage anyone who wants to help to do the following:

1) ping me to add you as a committer to the Subversion repository if
you aren't already

2) Next, check out the project from the repository:
http://code.google.com/p/svgtorture/source/checkout

3) find something in SVG that is known to be broken in at least one browser

4) distill it down to a unit test with a clear pass/fail criteria
described somewhere in the test (I've been using a <desc> element)

5) save the SVG file in the unsorted/ folder.

6) Add it to the repository:
   $ svn add unsorted/my-new-test.svg

7) Add the proper MIME type:
   $ svn propset svn:mime-type image/svg+xml unsorted/my-new-test.svg

8) Commit the update to the repository
   $ svn ci -m "Added my-new-test.svg which is awesome"

9) Verify your test is now browsable:
http://svgtorture.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/unsorted/my-new-test.svg

10) Wash. Rinse. Repeat Steps 3-9

I'll try to hang out in the W3C IRC server on the #svgig channel today
in case people have questions.

Regards,
Jeff Schiller
