I'll answer these in order.

1. I got lucky when I looked in the mailing list.

2. Yes there was good enough docs for the test days to help me participate.

3. My biggest obstacle with test days was that they were not planned early
enough. Most of the test days seemed to be planned less than 48 hours ahead
of time. If test days were planned better, I could actually participate
more.

4. Yes, I was able to download them. No, the media didn't work. It generally
hung the computer, but that's not the fault of the test days.

5. I would expect a recap of the testing efforts so that Fedora people could
analyze what the issues were, track them, and fix them. I suppose they are.
The mailing list enabled them to do this, but there was no formal method of
doing it.

6. If they were planned better, then maybe I would be able to set aside time
to do them. I would like to participate in future Test Days.

7. Set up a reporting center just for Test Day feedback. Using the wiki is
definitely not good enough. Additionally, Do not limit the test days to
people subscribed to the mailing list. Take a page from Mozilla's books and
announce those test days to the world. Unfortunately, to do that, test days
need to be planned better.

Hopefully this feedback helps :)
