  We regularly publish the call for testing on make.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org//mobile (WPiOS and WPAndroid), but we can move it (or x-post) to make.wordpress.org/test if you think it’s a better fit.
