Yes, I was trying to find a list that wouldn't put people off, but does set out what's required: 1. 'Time' it's a limited resource and testing does take time. 2. 'Resources' is a bit vague, but for instance if you're running test installations it's helpful to have another computer to download things or look them up, or a good install USB to hand. Can also mean the necessary knowledge to deal with the thing to test. 3. 'Inclination' you need to have a reason for wanting to do it. Mine comes mainly from the fact I think it's easier to deal with things earlier than later, I don't want to suddenly discover a problem when it lands on me. I think this is actually an advantage of open source rather than a disadvantage, end users get to see what's coming up and what problems might affect them rather than getting a new release dumped on them. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
