Hi again, I dived through the list archives to find self-introductions of people who explicitly said they were willing to do QA, which brought up quite a couple of people, and I shamelessly ripped out a small quote for anybody I've found: 2003-12-30 Jason Rohwedder <rohwedde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> "could potentially do some QA for the project if necessary" 2004-01-05 Charles R. Anderson <cra@xxxxxxx> "Do you want to do QA? - Yes." 2004-01-06 Christian Pearce <pearcec@xxxxxxxxxxx> "Do you want to do QA? - Yes" 2004-01-15 Todd Zullinger <Freedom_Lover@xxxxxxxxx> "I will because it's needed and the more folks that kick in a little time the easier the task will be for everyone" 2004-01-15 David Rees <drees@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> "I'd like to assist with the process of getting important security fixes QAd" 2004-01-15 Troy Dawson <dawson@xxxxxxxx> "Do you want to do QA? - Yes. I am very good at that." 2004-01-16 Jesse Keating <jkeating j2solutions net> "QA: As much as I possibly can" 2004-01-16 Johnny Strom <jonny.strom@xxxxxxxxxx> "can work on RH 7.3 packages now and I have more computers running on RH 9 that I can do backporting work on and testing later" 2004-01-23 John Dalbec <jpdalbec@xxxxxxx> "still not sure how much testing is needed" @Jason, Charles, Christian, Todd, David, Troy, Jesse, Johnny, John: I don't know any of you personally, some of you through their postings. I don't have a clue what is needed to help you as I'm definitely no QA expert. I just have the strong feeling that "something" is missing, because nearly every second posting contains a phrase like "We need QA". So, here we are, having people willing to do QA, and having packages that need QA. I know that there's a "How to do QA" document still in the pipeline, but as I don't know anything on the QA process I still need help. I guess that at least a few of you have done QA before. Would you mind shouting "Here I am" to help the unexperienced with guidance and with answering questions? It would be a great help for the project if a few of you can review at least the apt package for 8.0 for now. We can step forward with the documentation for 8.0 then. I have the strong impression that we already did quite a lot of work that really rocks. Please help us continuing! Thanks, Jonas
