* Many tools are available for automated testing, and GNOME needs to
annoint one with holy gnome pee so that it will become an acceptable
dependency for development. Whether this is LDTP, Dogtail, Strongwind,
or others, a clear decision needs to be made so that people can go
forth with creating tests.
Not that anointing something as holy pee always works (remember Tracker
v Beagle), but I think in this case it is worth it.
Personally I would like to use one of these frameworks to automatically
take screenshots of Conduit releases, but so far I'm stuck. I don't have
enough time to compare all the available options, and don't want to
waste time picking one that doesn't get anointed at a later date.
Perhaps this same rationale is the reason [1] that we don't have
* Some sort of desktop wide automated system for keeping screenshots up
to date in documentation (and taking them in all supported languages)
* Heaps of GUI regression tests in JHBuild

[1] The other reason, of course, is that people don't have infinite free
time to hack on these things
