Sorry, I missed this reply. Maybe this was all a bit too abstract

What I am looking for is:
* Are there any specific needs that you have that should be considered 
in this discussion
* Is there anything  in the way we do tests now that really sucks and 
thus should be fixed
* Are there any red lines - aka any solutions, approaches, etc. - that 
in your opinion would prevent yourself and the community from using a 
common test framework
* I am also looking for one (or maybe two) volunteers who can represent 
the developer communities view within the test framework WG
