Well, whilst this is just my opinion, my own feelings are that the
mailing list isn't always the most productive place. This really is
the case when reporting issues or bugs or even enhancements to
things. <br>
<br>
As we grow as a team, we need to use resources that enable people
easier to contribute and puts things back in the team's hands. I
feel that this is one thing that can be done to put us on that path.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

</div>
<div>tl;dr:</div>
<div>1. Could the theme unit tests file be put on
public repo on GitHub?</div>
<div>2. Anyone want to help tackle <a

?</div>

<div>Posting after Tammie suggested I do.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd like to see The Theme Unit Tests file on
GitHub for the following reasons:<br>
<br>
* Access to commit history to see what exactly
has changed version to version. Currently, us mere
mortals can only see when it was updated - the
information about what was not updated is not
available (or not easy to find) as it's part of
Automattic's SVN repo.</div>
<div> * Easier to see already-reported bugs and
enhancements, rather than wading through the
mailing list archives. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There's a fork already on GH (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/manovotny/wptest"
target="_blank">https://github.com/manovotny/wptest</a>)
which claims to have added extra edge cases. But
I've currently got no idea which cases these are,
and why they weren't added to the original Tests
file. Michael also believes that further cases and
fixes may have been added to the official Tests
since the fork that aren't in his, so now we may
have two sets of tests, mostly but not completely
duplicated.<br>
<br>
If the official Tests were on GH, and open to pull
requests on those edge cases and other issues,
then I'd hope that wptest could be discontinued to
just leave a single more-complete test suite that
everyone can benefit from.<br>
<br>
The wptest file has fixed things like <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/manovotny/wptest/issues/27"
target="_blank">https://github.com/manovotny/wptest/issues/27</a>
(s/Isaac Newton/Albert Einstein) and <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/manovotny/wptest/issues/24"
target="_blank">https://github.com/manovotny/wptest/issues/24</a>
(s/Horizontal/Vertical on vertical featured image
alt text) which the official Tests are still
bugged with. Both tests are bugged with missing
markup formatting tests for some elements, <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/manovotny/wptest/issues/37"
target="_blank">https://github.com/manovotny/wptest/issues/37</a>
(s/Headers/Headings) and a side-effect of <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/29621"
target="_blank">https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/29621</a>
(post titles stripped of markup on export).<br>
<br>
One of the things that would make contributions
*considerably* easier would be to get <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/22279"
target="_blank">https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/22279</a>
(mixed line endings for XML vs cdata in export)
fixed. That would enable direct editing of the
file without breaking line-endings, without having
to set up a clean WP install, import, amend and
export. If anyone has experience of the Exporter
and could help on this, then I would personally be
grateful, as would potential GitHub contributors
