At this point, I don't think that any of the existing support
companies/people have testing positions open.  I could be wrong though.  I
*don't* think that any of them would mind getting a nice resume (or CV) to
look over.   Good Luck.

A Test harness is a set of scripts built to run all of your tests in an
automated way.  Typically, it will return a summary of the test results.

Given that you are in NZ (or at least that your email address is), it may
be best for you to talk to katipo about joining up with them.  If you
really want to start a business of your own, join the kohabiz mailing list
(send mail to kohabiz-subscribe at eylerfamily.org and follow the directions
that are sent to you).  It will be a *very* tough road though, as you'll
be competing with the oldest, largest, best equipped koha company around.
