Hi *,
I'm writing this mail as I think, our QA project is not running very
well at the moment.
This doesn't mean, that our members only lurk around and do nothing.
No, definately not. QA-team members are doing their job with reviewing
issues, other do releas qa, work on CWS qa ...
But I get the feeling, nobody right knows, who is doing what. And as
nobody knows, what is actually done .. it is unknown, what is left to
be done as well.
So honestly speaking, I see a lack of project management here. We are
in the middle of preparing two releases (1.1.5 for the short term, 2.0
for the long term) ... but there are a lot questions that are not
answered (by our project leads), a lot of things that should be
planned or should be done, but are not told.
Even such simple things, as forwarding information from the releases
list to the qa project do not happen.
Well ... sorry for the maybe missleading subject of the mail. I first
wanted to write about, what shoulld be done within the project. But ..
to me, it is the responsibility of our project leads to do so. And
many mails with similar subjects haven't been answered.
So .. I'd like to look for new project leads, who are willing and able
to improve the situation. I think, we have members within the project,
who can do the job
... but at first I'd like to know the thoughts of other team members.

Hi Andre,
I have to agree. I've been feeling a little uncomfortable with the
progress of the project of late and couldn't put my finger on it as to
why. A factor, I know, to do with my relative newness to the project.
But now you mention it, your comments are on the nail. In any open
source project people come and go according to their own priorities
outside the project. I don't think of it as a reflection on the people
just the circumstances in which all of us find ourselves at times. Eric
Raymonds "Bazaar" model, yes! I think it is time for some new project
leadership, it would be nice to have some communication going on.
Cheers
Yo
