Does anyone know of a forum for discussing the writing of fit
tests? I have a couple of questions that haven't been answered
in the typical open source way (look at the source stupid).
Barring a forum, any decent online resources that actually
*describe* fit, fixtures, and story tests?
What's a "fit test"? (Google kicked back over 50,000 hits...)

First result would have pointed you in the right direction:

However, unless you are 'open source' gifted, it doesn't make much sense by
looking through the site.
Basically, fit tests are based on the fit framework which takes in a
table-formatted input file (such as an html or word document), and processes
the commands in the cells. The cells have an action, method, and expected
result. You then run these tests on your code (through fixtures that you
write) to test the code (inputs and outputs). If you know about unit tests,
fit tests are a step up from that, and the inputs (story tests) are typically
written by the customer (user representative on the development team). (The
test fixtures are written by the developer.)
