Ah, interesting, is it done yet? + + Comment: I take this as something positive :-) + +2. You are doing something complicated (supporting several nodes in a server constellation). Can't you start by doing something simpler, such as simply running a few curl commands against a server in the cloud? + + Comment: the complex can address the simple (e.g. single server), but it's not viable to extend the simple to the complex (e.g. multi-server constellations) where all the bugs lurk that today, practically, aren't findable. We want to cover the entire spectrum. + +3. FediTest should provide some value immediately to a new developer after a very quick installation. It can provide more value later after a more complex setup. + + Comment: that sounds smart, let's see what we can do. + +4. Implement [TAP](https://testanything.org/). Or something that is like TAP that is easily machine-processable. + + Comment: Sounds like a good idea. + +5. For the "test all" scenario, produce a table with application conformance similar to what is often done for web browser features, e.g. see [here](https://caniuse.com/flexbox). + + Comment: That may be a bit more complicated here, because tests tend to involve at least two application nodes, but the idea seems good. + +6. I need it to test X. + + Comment: file an issue here https://github.com/fediverse-devnet/feditest-tests-fediverse/issues so we can keep track of it. + +Also, nobody objected or proposed something else than my hack-up-the-spec [annost](https://github.com/jernst/annost) hack. Admittedly nobody has been particularly enthusiastic either, but people see the advantages it has for traceability. So we'll go with that for now. + +Have more feedback or questions?
