Re: [Libreoffice-qa] minutes of the QA Call tomorrow, Tuesday 1300UTC
Hi, I agree with all of Bjoern' and bfo's concerns and ideas. Concerning additional additional Bug report Channels: I can live with such solutions if it's granted that such reports find their way to Bugzilla immediately, what generally means a person is responsible for that task. But checking back to reporter (may be in a foreign language) might cost a lot of time, and so I think that a cost/benefit calculation will show that such babysitting only can be accepted for very few very special classes of bugs. Concerning BSA improvement: In Bugzilla we already have a small collection of ideas. If nobody else starts an initiative: I hope that in December I will have some more time than now so that I can do some work there, but without a programmer (Rob?) nothing can be done.

[Libreoffice-qa] [ANN] LibreOffice 3.6.3 RC2 available
Dear Community, The Document Foundation is happy to announce the second release candidate of LibreOffice 3.6.3. The upcoming 3.6.3 will be the third in a series of frequent bugfix releases, for our feature-packed 3.6 branch. Please be aware that LibreOffice 3.6.3 RC2 is not ready for production use, you should continue to use LibreOffice 3.6.2 for that. The release is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X from our QA builds download page at http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/ Should you find bugs, please report them to the FreeDesktop Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org A good way to assess the release candidate quality is to run some specific manual tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Regression_Tests#Full_Regression_Test (and the announcement mail: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2011-December/022464.html) For other ways to get involved with this exciting project - you can e.g. contribute code: http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/developers/ translate LibreOffice to your language: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Translation_for_3.5 or help with funding our operations: http://donate.libreoffice.org/ A list of known issues and fixed bugs with 3.6.3 RC2 is available from our wiki: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/3.6.3/RC2 If no showstopper bugs are found, this 3.6.3 RC2 is slated to become 3.6.3 final - see our release schedule for that branch: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/3.6#3.6.3_release Let us close again with a BIG Thank You! to all of you having contributed to the LibreOffice project - this release would not have been possible without your help.

Yes, that would be in the responsibility of the local team to take care of. But checking back to reporter (may be in a foreign language) might cost a lot of time, and so I think that a cost/benefit calculation will show that such babysitting only can be accepted for very few very special classes of bugs. That depends on whose time it costs. If it costs the time of a wider audience (and not creates additional load on the current bugwranglers) and thus get a) more people involved and b) broadens the knowledge on how to make bug reports good, it shouldnt hurt and might help. Concerning BSA improvement: In Bugzilla we already have a small collection of ideas.

Sure, that is always the limit in the end ;).

The idea is basically this: - let people file bugs on the BSA (bug submission agent) in a few selected native languages - instead of creating a bug on bugzilla, send the stuff to the local mailing list - the local team: - looks for duplicates - asks for missing info - finally files a translated high quality bug report This might help improve both the low quality bug reports we get from the BSA, and enable local contributors top get involved. However, it also requires the local teams to quickly handle the load. I think it's a really nice idea. Please let me the time to discuss this with the FR QA team and come with his feedback. Just another thought: Since the TDF already has an instance of OTRS running at: https://otrs.documentfoundation.org and how do I log on this marvelous tool ;-) I can't see any way where I can request an account. Also, where is it already in use, is it in the QA project ?
