There is a lack of design documentation and specification in the 
blueprints, creating test plans is problematic and requires a lot of 
communication with the developers. I was wondering whether we could 
partially remedy this by creating a place where we could share test 
plans - a place to add comments, point out problems and figure out the 
weak points of the features.

These test plans wouldn't be meant for documenting the
existing tests (documenting 800+ test cases would be impossible
anyway), just as a means of communication.

My current solution is github + text files[1]. I chose using github 
because it's more likely to be actually used by developers. Another 
alternative would be the wiki, but I think the code-like nature of test 
plans would profit from using the same tools as for code. Putting them 
right into the blueprints would be problematic, as it doesn't support 
formatting, but we can link them there.

Are there perhaps some better solutions for this? Would it be worth our 
time to try this?
