 Please also refer to this email posted to the users list.  I will add the

 This project involves a near ground-up rewrite of the current testsuite
 harness.
 Most tests are trivial to convert but many will need refactoring.  The new
 testsuite moves away from the 'screen' based testing we do currently to an
 internal, C-based approach.  That is a very general and broad overview
 it's not
 as simple as it sounds.

 I do have this working already and the tests have all been renamed.

 All the tests have been renamed to use a more intuitive naming scheme no
 more
 hidden and random file names.  The web portal to the test suite is up
 temporarily here:

   https://test.rtems.org/

 This project also involves going into the database to ensure they have
 been
 properly renamed and fixing any that need changing.

 Feel free to drill down the site.  I'm working on better documentation for
 this
 project by the 20th I was hoping for sooner but things have gotten in the
 way.

 Anyone working on this project is not expected to convert the entire
 testsuite,
 just as much as possible the rest of the work will involve identifying
 what may
 be required to complete the rest which can involve refactoring of RTEMS
 itself.
