Last year we had 10 attendees and one mentor (Sebastian). The "track" was relatively simple: We had an introductory presentation by Sebastian on how to test. Sebastian had made the choice of going to test the Reflection API, so we made a list of untested functions in Reflection, which were written on a whiteboard. Then, functions were assigned to the attendees based on what the attendees wanted to work on. As they finished the tests for a function, they marked it as done on the whiteboard and assigned themselves a new function to test. This worked remarkably well, at least for the 10 attendees we had. But I think this is scalable. It might work well to prepare the lists of things to test (we did it then and there, but it is something that is easily preparable by checking code coverage reports). During the test-writing, Sebastian was helping people with problems they came by, and the organizers helped as well here and there with more general problems (workstation setup, submitting the tests to the issue tracker). Our biggest issue (setup problems) is solved by the virtual machines that are now available (or will be tomorrow, as I understood from Pierre). Hope this helps.
