OK. It is good that we have some experienced QA experts in the project. I wonder whether we could start putting together a QA plan the various milestones, especially what is needed for the 1st release and what is needed to migrate any QA systems from OpenOffice.org website.
This planning work could go on in parallel to the development work that is currently going on. I've started a wiki page for the plan here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Wiki+Home I've outlined what I think will be required for the QA effort for our first build. But I am not an expert in OOo QA. Could the experts review this page and improve it? Ditto for: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Site-QA-Plan This is the plan for making sure that we migrate everything that QA needs from the OpenOffic.org website.
