Hello Dennis,

It is an excellent idea to post this to AOO. Doing a continuous digital 
plugfest is certainly a great idea. To pull that off, 

The tests are being developed on gitlab. The main respository is at 
  https://gitlab.com/odfplugfest/odfautotests
There is a branch which is created in preparation of the plugfest by Ben 
Martin (monkeyiq) at
  https://gitlab.com/monkeyiq/odfautotests
This branch will be cleaned up and merged into the main branch after the 
plugfest.

For a contuous plugfest we'd need more though. I'd like to see a webinterface 
where each test can be commented on and links to relevant bug databases can be 
added as well as links to the relevent parts of the specification. Web 
application developers are welcome to contact me to see what we can pull off in 
this regard. Suggestions for server applications that could be made to work 
with a plugtest workflow would also be welcome.

Of course you have permission to pass on the message, but please note that the 
urls are temporary and the results raw. Many applications did not get tested. 
All input was only ODF 1.2 (some output was 1.1). And some results are present 
due to server glitches. So some cleanup and expecially *interpretation* of the 
results is needed.

What you can certainly do right now is the build the tester (ant jar) and run 
it.
