Wired.com ran their
smart list
today. If you aren't familiar with it or don't care, at least check
out the great press fellow software tester, entrepreneur, and social
innovator Thorkil Sonne is getting for
Specialisterne here:

While you're at it, why not
digg it!
I know there is a lot that we testers disagree about, but if there is
one thing we should be able to agree upon, it's that Thorkil,
Specialisterne, and the very special people they serve deserve our
support and best wishes. I can only hope that this is the spark that
get's this (and other such, responsible programs) moving globally.
While that would certainly make me happy for Thorkil, the real winners
when this takes off will be those who would finally find themselves
filling jobs well suited to their skills, those who are reluctantly (and
often poorly) doing those jobs now, and their employers who can
reassign those reluctant folks to something *they* are better suited for
and will complain about less (we all hope) .
Congratulations Thorkil & Specialisterne!!!
