#268: asking to join the proven testers and requesting a mentor ------------------------------------------+----------------- Reporter: arifiauo | Owner: Type: proventester request | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Proventester Mentor Request | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: ------------------------------------------+----------------- Comment (by mschwendt): I'm not familiar with twitter. The '@' (at) notation predates twitter. It makes it more obvious (and more readable) that some person is being addressed and that the word after the '@' is a username and not an acronym such as 'afaics' or 'iirc'. [...] With regard to the mentoring, I think the entire proventesters area is still experimental and a constant learning-process also for the mentors. Guidelines are updated as new conclusions are drawn. My concerns are that you never give any hint about what you've tested or how much you've used a new package. It's always a plain "works for me", even for packages that are not in the repos yet, which means you must have downloaded them from koji. If you've done that, you've never mentioned it. In many other cases you vote +1 a few hours already after a package has been pushed to the repos. And you do that for an overwhelming (!) variety of packages (a multitude I cannot sum up here). How much of that stuff do you really use? [...] Then there's this: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Proven_tester#Major_bugs Still, at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2011-17155 you have not explained your -1. As subsequent testers are expected to retest for issues reported by previous testers, you need to follow the guidelines and post details. I cannot take back my earlier -1 because it is not known what issue you've found. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/268#comment:8> Fedora QA <http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa> Fedora Quality Assurance -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
