Hi I'm new and keen and I moaned about the lack of direction as well. I am a project manager and would be willing to take on the task of organising the roll outs. I am not technical so will need technical backup but I can string a project together.
Our primary goal should be to ensure that the release complies with the 'functional spec' and that documentation is far from perfect. We may find ourselves rewriting most of it! CV attached, thumbs up or down, you won't offend, I simply want to see this job done. My angle is that it will have tremendous benefit to the third world if we can get it this software right. (I am currently voluntarily engaged in establishing ethnic businesses in Kenya) Best regards Bob -------------- Robert Bruce Wallum Berrybush, Yarrow, SELKIRK TD7 5NQ 01750 82252 -------------- -----Original Message----- From: Graham Lauder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 7:39 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [qa-dev] Current (In)activities at the QA project Andre Schnabel wrote: > 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.

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.
