SIG proposal: qa-sig

[Collin Winter]

I'd like to propose a new SIG, qa-sig, for discussing topics related
to testing and QA in/with/of Python, analogous to Perl's perl-qa list
[0]. I want a central place for discussing things like

- new features for unittest.
- extensions for unittest, like Sebastian Rittau's XmlTestRunner [1].
- testing best practices (infrastructure, conventions, etc).
- projects like PyBots [2].
- test discovery frameworks, like nose [3].
- using/developing mock libraries, like my own svnmock [4].

In short, a clearinghouse for information about QA in the Python world.

I would volunteer to be the SIG's coordinator.

Thanks,
Collin Winter

I am now, thanks. I was hoping for an "official" list, but this will do.
