RfC: test structure and process; deadline Dec 21

Hi All,

During our December 13 call, I took Action-89 to make a short proposal 
on our test directory structure. I included the bulk of the proposal in 
the draft agenda for that meeting:

[[
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webevents/2011OctDec/0149.html

a. Directory organization: for consistency with WebApps and HTML WGs, 
should the directory structure be changed:

     
http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/wiki/Submission#Test_Repository_Structure

      .../webapps/[SPECIFICATION]/
      .../webapps/[SPECIFICATION]/tests/approved/
      .../webapps/[SPECIFICATION]/tests/submissions/[CONTRIBUTOR]/

Giving:

      .../webevents/touch-events-v1/
      .../webevents/touch-events-v1/tests/approved/
      .../webevents/touch-events-v1/tests/submissions/Mozilla/
      .../webevents/touch-events-v1/tests/submissions/Intel/
      .../webevents/touch-events-v1/tests/submissions/Opera/
]]

The above organization implies a certain bit of related process and 
copies WebApps' process [WebApps-Testing]. WebApps process was designed 
to be relatively light-weight and to accommodate async participation.

In addition to the above directory structure, I propose we adopt 
WebApps' testing processes with the understanding that we can modify any 
part of the process that results in WebEvents WG working "better". For 
instance, ATM, I don't think it is necessary to create a separate list 
just for testing.

So, if you have any comments on: a) the directory structure; and/or b) 
adoptiong WebApp's testing process (with the proviso above), please send 
them by December 21. In the absence of any unresolvable issues, I will 
go ahead and start making the directory changes on December 22.
