Phill, yes this might cause some folks to have to learn about launchpad,
but it's something that is good to learn -- it's not specific to QA and
is needed for contributing to many ubuntu areas.
As far as viewing and responding to working on the needed items, anyone
with a ubuntu SSO account can comment on the bug and express interest or
offer patches. I and others on the team would be happy to help them with
there contribution, including lessons on using launchpad if needed in
order to get it committed :-)The initial requirements (ubuntu sso) are
the same whether in lp or on the wiki. Contributing something is now a
skill that can be used to contribute to QA or any other lp project :-)
As always, I am happy to help anyone who would otherwise contribute, but
are unsure of how to navigate the tools. Feel free to ping me, email the
list, comment on a bug, whatever you wish. We'll help you out.
Thanks!

yup,
as soon as someone makes the time to explain all of this new area and
usage. IIRC, you are supposed to have PGP / GPG keys to commit? Yet
another step for people who can write a clear set of instructions to
'jump through a further hoop'?
It still 'needs selling to me'. I'm one of the olde worlde fashioned
people, I'm sure I'm not the only one :)

I wanted to follow-up on this to say the wiki page of work
assignments has been officially laid to rest. All the work is now
in the bug tracker. Looking for something that needs contributing?
Have a look!

Cool Nicholas, a total +1 to this, I think it'll help me to
get more involved in
manual testcase reviewing.
One think I'd like to see will be testcases in differente
languages, a lot more
of people could help if they could be able to follow the steps.

So, in an effort to bring more focus and exposure to
manual testing,
I've been a bit busy setting up a cleaner way for everyone to
contribute testcases. In that vein, I'd like to announce
that the
manual tests on the tracker(s) are now all on launchpad.
There is a
launchpad project and you can branch and submit merge
requests to
get new testcases or testcase modifications in. In
addition, you can
easily file bugs when you find something wrong in a
testcase :-)
Check the project out here:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual-tests
Check out the tests here:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-testcase/ubuntu-manual-tests/trunk/files/head:/testcases/
<http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-testcase/ubuntu-manual-tests/trunk/files/head:/testcases/>
So what does this mean for everyone? Let me share my
thoughts and
talk about ways you can help.
It means anyone can see all the testcases in use at
anytime, and
feel free to contribute / suggest edits, just like any
other ubuntu
project. We will sync the testcases in the branch to the
tracker as
updates happen to the branch. This solves several problems
of the
current system; namely, only testcade admins can edit the
actual
testcase, and credit for the testcase is not well represented.
So what do we need help with?
1) The QATeam wiki (wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam
<http://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam>) needs updated to reflect
the new project
2) The workitems found on the wiki
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/TestcaseUpdates) moved to
bugs on
launchpad instead to enable better tracking. For example,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual-tests/+bug/1109321.
This
will allow us to better describe the tasks. We can tag them as
to-do, and then assign and track and work them inside
launchpad
instead of the wiki.
3) And of course, manual testcases need to be written and
updated :-)
In addition, I'm working on a tutorial to demonstrate
writing a
manual testcase under the new process (similar to the
autopilot
tutorial). What else would you all like to see happen with
manual
testcases? What would help or hinder your contribution?
Let me know
your thoughts. Thanks!
Nicholas
