I can create page to wiki (or add data into already >existing page) after feedback from you (meaning all qa folks - not just >andre ;-). Good, thanks Jari for this proposal. The basic role of QA from bugzilla product/component administration is simply to actively follow-up. Making sure the bug is attended properly, ping the default assignee or assignee or reporter to get visibility and comments on the progress, triage bugs, verify and close them whenever possible. Having clear QA set for each component is as important as having the proper bug fixer set as default assignee. We obviously lack this currently and it's one of the key reason so many bugs are floating in undefined status or resolution. Another important aspect of this role is to support other users and advise, help when needed, e.g. Moving a report to another component with proper rationale. This also includes making sure all actors follow the process and keep behaving nicely... > >Br, Jari Cheers, Eric > >[1] >http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/MaintainerResponsibility# >Work_with_Testing >[2] http://wiki.meego.com/Packaging/Guidelines#Maintaining_a_Package >_______________________________________________ >MeeGo-qa mailing list >MeeGo-qa@lists.meego.com >http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-qa _______________________________________________ MeeGo-qa mailing list MeeGo-qa@lists.meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-qa
