Well, as we do things now, QA and the KDE SIG collaborate on testing KDE under the current model (you can get it in two ways - live image or DVD - but they're very similar and don't need to be tested entirely separately). This approach still effectively nearly doubles the workload, because it envisages QA doing a full round of testing on KDE-atop-Workstation, and KDE SIG doing a full round of testing on KDE-spin. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
