nice to see that you are still interested in woring on that GSOC :-)

Those reorganizations should be rather irrelevant to the GSoC luckily. The 
scripting interface should not change (and if it does and your tests fail we 
have found a reason why we need tests ;-) and most of the work is currently on 
the effects layer which are currently (not yet) exposed to the scripting 
interface.

I would try with something fairly simple. Change a desktop and verify that the 
desktop changed. Open a window and verify that a client has been added. 
Minimize it and verify that it is minimized. The more complex tasks should be 
kept for the GSoC. Most likely we will be able to find real good test cases 
with the refactoring GSoC.

Understandable, though during the project it would be a plus to have them 
before the refactoring is done to ensure that nothing breaks ;-)
