There's a difference between competence and knowledge. If someone were to report a bug in the package I discussed a bit ago, from the report I'd probably know what to ask to figure out what was going wrong, and then - if it were likely to apply to future reports - I'd add that information to the 'what information to ask for on bug reports for this issue' page. So I'd consider myself competent enough to generate the knowledge in the appropriate circumstance. But it's harder to work entirely on theory - 'Imagine something's gone wrong. Now, what's the first question you'd ask?'...that's a bit harder. Usually, the information you get from someone when something actually goes wrong is important in figuring out what question you're going to ask to figure out how to fix it, and it's easier to identify patterns in what information you need in _retrospect_ rather than in advance. For me, anyway. It may be that this is different for others. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
