I want to keep to the 'Test Day' because the concurrency aspect - having everyone in IRC, including a developer to give a very fast feedback/fix loop - is one of the key features, and you can't maintain that over a period longer than a day. However, I do agree in one way: we can certainly make use of testing done outside of the exact 'day', and we should make sure to always communicate that. I try to do so when talking about Test Days and when making pages for them, but any ways we can be even more explicit about this would be great :) > We could group more tests into a test week and advertise as a Fedora > test week and ask the testers to perform what ever test that interest > them from the list of tests we provide for the test week and we would > then gather the result in a weeks time instead of a day. > > This would give both maintainers and tester a bit more flexibility > regarding the usage of their time instead of forcing them to bound to a > single day.
