Thanks Well, it's agreed to retire the onboarding process for Bugzappers, just because it's pretty much dormant: we reply to people's emails but there are no weekly meetings, no chat in #fedora-bugzappers, no chat on this list, and so far as I can tell, very little actual triage going on. Additionally, there is some history to Bugzappers as a separate project which was before my time, but as Johann has explained it to me, it was something of a 'I'm taking my ball and going home!' thing that led to it being set up as a separate sub-project outside of QA. So far as I can tell, there's no-one left who's particularly wedded to that arrangement, and I think most people left in QA agree that there's no intrinsic reason BZ should be a separate project, and if you look at it from first principles, bug triage is probably something that comes under QA. Put those together, and it seems sensible to at the minimum drop the Bugzappers onboarding process. We can probably look at moving the useful content from the Bugzappers wiki space back into the QA space at some future point, but right now all I'm focusing on solving is this problem where people send self-introduction mails for BZ or proventesters and we send back a mail saying 'hi, thanks for joining, but neither of those projects is really active right now, so why not do one of these other things?' - it looks pretty silly. It seems much more sensible just to have a general QA onboarding process and have the welcome mail briefly summarize all the currently active areas where people can help out. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
