I don't if you mean:
* Each individual is to test 100 - 200 extensions;
* Only 100 - 200 extensions are to be tested;

Regardless, each extension needs to be tested on each platform that AOO
is available for. Ideally, BSD & Linux testing would be for several
different distros, and versions of those distros.

If you want people to test more than five or six extensions, write a
tool that will automatically install all of the extensions in a file
directory.

I'm with you about testing them on different platforms, and ideally
I'd love us to be able to test all extensions. Still I believe
targeting top extensions is a viable way to go if we want to achieve
results in a reasonable time frame, everything else will require a lot
more time.

Your help would be precious with that, at this time I can commit to
keep deploying a better website both for Extensions and templates,
releasing a new version every six months or so.
