[OSM-talk] QA bots commenting on changesets - your thoughts?

2018-04-04 Thread Michał Brzozowski
There's a bot in Poland that comments on changesets which break addresses (e.g. combining addr:place with addr:street), along with an explanation and links to forum topic. What do you think about it? Are such bots useful or not? Michał ___ talk mailing

Hi Michał, I can see value in making sure that mistakes are not accidentally introduced. However, I am not sure whether a bot like you describe is a wanted solution. * I have concerns about false positives, when the bot considers an action as braking a connection and gives comment while the

I think the more we can do to automate QA, the better. There should be some common sense guidelines for running bots though: * user names with “bot” in them * user profiles that say what the bot does and where the source code is * common place on GitHub for bot development (osmlab/bots?)
