That's no problem! If you spend 15 minutes handling 5 easy reports, then Mr. Tuesday can spend 15 minutes handling 3 moderately hard reports, and Mr. Wednesday and Mr. Thursday can spend 15 minutes handling 1 report each. > As for me --- sometimes it takes *too much* to follow threads (yes, my English > is much worse* than it may appear). How much time? Could you record this next time? i.e. at the beginning of your time on Monday, do you spend 2 minutes catching up on emails? 5 minutes? 10 minutes? (and do you have your email setup with the filtering we recommend in the CG?) If it takes 10 minutes (or even the full 15 minutes!) to delete the emails that have already been processed, that's fine -- just let me know, and I'll think of some suggestions for dealing with emails, or a different procedure, or something. But at the moment I just don't have enough information to make any good suggestions. > ps. Looking at the CG i started to feel like the bug squad is the only squad > with strictly declared responsibilities. Yes, that is true. There are a few reasons for this: 1. some positions simply can't be well-defined (what does "fixing bugs" really mean?) 2. some positions might be definable, but we haven't taken the time to do it (what does "doc meister" really do?) 3. some positions _are_ well-defined, but only apply to me (take a look at the "release work" chapter) Ultimately, I was expecting a 50% turnover every year in the Bug Squad, so I spent a lot of effort defining your jobs as precisely (and easily) as I could. That's why I'm disappointed that, after six months, we still have emails getting lost. :( > pps. I will be *happy* when BugMeister tells me that BugSquad can succeed > without my "help".

I mean, I can always see when you've been working, and I know from memory that your day is Monday -- at some point, on every Monday, I see 4-10 emails from you. But I don't have a similar memory for other days. Do we just have no bugs on those days? Maybe, but I haven't seen lots of issues getting verified on those days. Do other people need more time to catch up on emails? Are they confused by the checklist? I'd like to find out what the problem is, so that we can fix it.
