[WG: Sakai QA] Sakai-2.6.0-rc05 - URGENT TESTING REQUEST - 17/June/09

[Pete Peterson]

Greetings All,

The QA server administrators are currently installing on the sakai-2.6.0-rc05 tag on their Sakai QA Test Servers<http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/confluence/x/ZT8> and in fact several have been updated already. As I mentioned in the email yesterday, we will be looking to the community (YOU) to help test and confirm the integrity of the final Sakai 2.6.0 release. Several institutions are in the process or have completed installations of the 2.6.0 code and their experiences, feedback and internal testing has been invaluable, but we still need your hands, mice and brains to assist with this final QA effort.

I have made a simple confluence page to record your QA results:
