Not necessarily. Contrary to what people might think, the "community" QA activities have traditionally been very structured: each volunteer received a few dozens very specific tests to run and reported the results back. We're following the same pattern for the ongoing community tests on the Italian version, by assigning each volunteer specific categories of tests from the wiki page.
Then of course volunteers are still volunteers and you can't demand that they do their tests and respect deadlines, but this method was quite effective so far.
