Re: [gnome-desktop-testing] A thought about integrating Mago to desktop project source

[Tim Miao <Tim Miao Sun COM>]

Hi Peter,

The GNOME Desktop Testing project has been changed its name to Mago for
more acceptance in other communities. This testframe work is based on
LDTP. People can check out more information from:
http://live.gnome.org/DesktopTesting and https://launchpad.net/mago .

Thanks,
-Tim
