  1. Congratulations to Tiffany and Wesley. I am glad to see Tiffany Fodor in Water Community, she deserves. Becuase I too got many clarifications very quickly from her through the watir-general group when I started designing Test Framework recently for my project based on “DataDrivenTestHarnessExample with Excel”

    Good Luck watir team!! Keep growing!!

    thanks,
    venkat

  3. Greetings.
    Well I have been working with watir recently and I decided to create a simple logging class for others. I was wondering where I could post this. I can’t seem to find any community contributions sites or real forums.

    Thanks a mil!

  4. hi Charley, I have used watir-webdriver and watir for five months and met some problems during this period.

    I’m interested in developing about the watir-webdriver , i think watir-webdriver can be better when i used in last several months, so I want to join this team and solve problems with you.

    Now i am a Test Development Engineer in a network company in Beijing,China

    Thanks
    Robin Xuan
