This is meant to include emailing particular WDL-related people, some of whom we mentioned in another issue thread (where?), and telling them about the conformance tests, and seeing if they are interested in using them to help test their WDL runners.

Lon and I are supposed to make some e-mail introductions to accomplish this.

• Send out WDL conformance/performance tests to The WDL People: Mike Lin, Kyle Vernest the development lead for Terra
  • Lon to email Kyle and Steven
  • Adam to email Mike and Steven
  • Ask what these people think of the conformance tests we have and the idea of a universal set of tests for all the runners

stxue says that the OpenWDL people have a test generator. (Where?)

We should look at that and see if it’s better than the old hackathon test setup and if we can use that, and how it relates to our conformance test setup. Is it an alternative? Is it a kind of test that our runner could learn to run or a format we could express our tests in? Is it a way to generate tests, and if so from what and can it generate tests comparable to the ones we have?
