Which projects (or areas) do you feel need most motivation/care? And where are the next lowest hanging fruits (apart from localisation)? Just to pick one: QA for example seems to need a different approach, as to ... . install & test early versions (best: master) . find bugs (desirable: follow a test plan) . report bugs (needs bugzilla knowledge) . reproduce them (try to understand the 'non-native English' first ;-) ) . triage them (needs a feeling for relevance) . escalate them (needs rhetoric abilities) . hopefully they get fixed one day (needs patience & luck) . retest and verify them (oh dear!) ... it takes all an awful lot of time, nearly-beyond-human patience and knowhow, and cannot (or to a much lesser extent) be crowdsourced. So there should be other motivators (e.g. a "better working software"? positive end user feedback? increasing download numbers? fun working in the QA community? learn using funky tools? others???) (QA IMHO seems to have been a bit abandonned for the last 2 years and is just starting to gather interested people and establish efficient workflows - hopefully) Nino -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
