After today, until the 22nd instant I have only three working days, so initial progress will be slow. Nevertheless, this month we should be able to select a framework and get simple examples working in it. Then, more can be added next month, and we can write developer documentation about how to do that.

Much as I hate to add another to the list, bpindelski points out WindowTester and that does also look good. I guess it's worth making this initial framework choice well, but I'll try not to go far down many rabbit holes.
My current plan is to give each of the above four a few hours' reading and figuring out and playing to see if it seems viable, and, of those that do, a few more hours to set up something simple and share it with Petr, and encourage him to be thinking in terms of the automatable test categories provided. Then, we can decide, with which of these packages, if any, to plunge in further with our first real test scenarios.
