I also link to this from https://github.com/ScriptFUSION/Pip. Keep in mind that PHPUnit (secretly) supports the PHPT format and the QA site is the only (un)official reference for its implementation. I think the QA subsite should be retired as it is very difficult to discover and accessing the PHPT information is currently somewhat of a dark art. It should not be hidden. But will the old links still work (read: redirect) to the new location? Cheers, Bilge
