Sorry, it's not going to happen that fast....see my reply to Doug.  We're 
going to need volunteers to update regression scripts, run tests, and write 
procedures.  We shouldn't try to switch all the regression testers in a big 
bang -- we need to get a few volunteers to work with whoever modifies the 
scripts and to help work out issues.
