The idea is to do it asynchronously, as it doesn't really need to happen
in real-time - I'm roughly planning to have a basic wiki page which
explains what to do, and post a forum thread and a thread here asking
people to run through it and post their feedback either to the forum /
list or directly to Bugzilla. Of course, if enough people are interested
in also doing it as a real-time event, we can do that too.
