I've been thinking about this -- there would be many benefits to 
coming up with a testing agenda and kicking in to have certain tests 
done as a group, either via ICTC or self-designated groups from 
within this list or c) other.

The other thing that we could do is pool information we have gained 
through testing.  For example, if everyone who has done a 
before/after spraying test would share their data (spray nozzle 
used, #pounds pressure, type of sprayer, any other pertinent data), 
the possibility of  offering others within the group the chance to 
work with tested successful equipment and pressures.

Now, people who have paid for their tests may not want to just offer 
up the info they paid for to the whole world, including people who 
have not.  This is an individual decision.  So it is also possible 
for those who do not want to give away their data to agree to 
compare notes and share data with those who have something to share 
back.

If there is a finite set of techniques that keep on being tested and 
replicated by others, there is still room for lots of pioneering, 
but we start to get a set of data associated with the same specific 
equipment/techniquews over and over again and can have some 
confidence that we're on the right track.

Individuals will still want to test to make sure that what they're 
doing works.  But it could speed up the time it takes to establish 
one's skills in AACT brewing and application, because of eliminating 
some of the trial and error.  

Others who have been doing this for much longer will have pertinent 
comments and perspective, I'm sure, and I welcome hearing them.
