Not entirely For example, I can't document a process described in that manner. I certainly understand that we have to pick a set of core activities that OLPC QAs, and that the rest is up to the developers or a distribution that they submit their code to. But that means creating and publishing a list, and also creating and publishing a test plan. Among other things, every other activity developer has to know how to test collaboration and Journal interactions properly. > On Mon, Apr 21, 2008 at 5:11 AM, Tomeu Vizoso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > 2008/4/20 Kim Quirk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > > Bernie, > > > I'd like to make two points regarding your notes: > > > > > > 1 - OLPC cannot be responsible for activities.
