RE: [PHP-QA] Update PHPT details page.

Hi all, Eric, This looks good to me and something I'd look forward to sending out to our group prior to TestFest day. I think this documentation will provide people the technical background they'll need for the TestFest day. One thing we're still trying to figure out, however, is the actual logistics of the day and how to keep everyone on track (and in fact what those "tracks" are). I'm going to be posting out to our lists with additional details for the testfest, in order to get everyone ramped up. But if anyone has general day-of experiences they'd like to share from prior years, I think that'd be very valuable as well.
