[Cosmo-dev] Windmill

[Adam Christian]

I'm really glad to see people are up for digging in to windmill. One  
thing that would probably be helpful for all of you is if I wiki up  
my work flow, how I write and run tests step by step ish, then you  
can iterate and ask questions and fill in blanks.. that might be the  
shortest path to a "This is how you do it" guide.

I will put something together tonight or in the morning and send the  
link out.
