Yes, however I am unsure how to phrase it. 

1. IMO the tests should benefit the netizens, operators and developers and therefore should be easy to operate and friendly to ad-hoc deploy (rather than 24/7) for unprevileged (non-root) netizens. Without vendor lock in. And tomorrow and the week after as well, without permanent underlying framework changes to be integrated (upwards compatibility. I know it's hard). So I advocate thinking from the end towards the means, not vice versa. What options are there aside php and cgis?

2. Many ActivityPub processes are asynchronous in nature and are hard to follow and therefore test. IMO we should encourage a 'friendly feedback' policy to
a. immediately report back the effect in a machine readable manner, evtl. with an url to track the progress,
b, if asynchronous, then call back once there is a result,
c. never silently discard requests.

Great, I'll be there.
