Important: potential new contributors! was Fwd: we need more tasks

[Anne-Marie Mahfouf]

Hi,

I added a wiki page to test 4.10 for Plasma:
http://community.kde.org/Getinvolved/Quality/Beta/4.10/Plasma

Here I added 3 tasks for Google Code-In students, to test Calculator, Comic and Battery applets.

I can mentor more if needed, just ping me or open tasks with my name as mentor.

Best regards,

Anne-Marie

PS: I'd like to add a few sentences in the announcement for beta 2 about testing as we did for 4.9, are you OK with this?
