Encourage testing of R during next feature freeze

[hturner]

One area that R Core would appreciate more help with is testing R before release.

Are there ways we can help with this? Some options

• Run a Collaboration Campfire focused on this (see #32). May be hard to do it "live" as would need to run the event at the right time, but we could do a dry run: installing a patch version separately from the current installation and developing a check-list of things to check.
• Simply promoting on Slack and Twitter at the appropriate time, pointing to the blog post.

As there will not be a release until next year, this issue is on hold.
