[maemo-community] [Testingsquad-list] Testing/QA refresh

Hello, Iván and others,

Please include also my project: NWTBible
http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras-testing_free_armel/nwtbible/1.3/
which also depends on libwebkit-1.0-1:
http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras-testing_non-free_armel/libwebkit-1.0-1/1.0-svn41137-18/

Both app and library are lacking enough votes for promoting because
userbase is limited. If someone from testing squad can install app and test
that functionality is working, i would be happy if it will be promoted to
extras.

Thanks

Best regards,
  Ilya Skriblovsky

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> .
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Correcting my previous email:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> *Rationale:*
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lack of testers and maintainers for applications have
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> derived in a lot of applications getting stuck at Extras Testing  even if
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> they are suitable for promotion.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> We have even reach a situation in which most
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> applications are not even promoted by their developers to Testing (from
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Devel) due to the difficulty to promote to Extras. The whole promotion
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> system is perceived as useless.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> *Solution:*
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Considering that Maemo community is shrinking, we
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> cannot continue with the actual process. We need to both fix some issues in
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the whole process of promotion and also grant more administrative
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> privileges to Supertesters.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> *New members proposed as Supertesters:*
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> These people have been suggested to become new
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Supertesters:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Demolition
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> vi_
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ammyt
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ivgalvez
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Please any one else interested in become a new
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Superster send an email to this mailing list.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> *Proposed changes for the promotion process:*
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This should be the easiest part of the changes that
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> we are proposing.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> - Promotion of applications from Testing to Extras
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> should be automatic once the requirements are fulfilled. No need of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> maintainer to actively promoting the application.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This will allow orphaned applications to be promoted.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> - Only one Supertester vote, enough to promote an
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> application.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> - Five User votes, enough to promote an application.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> We are running out of man power.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> All other criteria could be maintained as they are
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> now.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Proposed new permissions/abilities for Supertesters:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> - Add a new developer to maintainer list of any
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> package.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> - Delete a package from the repository.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> - Edit bugtracker link.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> - Ability to promote a package not only from Testing
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> to Extras but also from Devel to Testing.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> - Ability to downgrade a package from Extras to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Testing, and even to Devel.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> - Ability to prevent automatic promotion of a package
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> from Testing to Extras (to avoid popular but potentially dangerous app to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> be promoted automatically if reached the number of user votes needed).
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> So we should try to keep IRC conversation on how to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> achieve those points (already discussed at TMO).
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Please Henri and Niels, can you provide any
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> preference on when to have that meeting?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> > - Only one Tester vote, enough to promote an

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Is there a current role of "tester"? AIUI, there are
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> two roles:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  * Logged in user
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  * Supertester
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The "Testing Squad" and "testers" are just people,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> self-organising via
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this list, which commit to test multiple
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> applications; even ones
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> they're not usually interested in. They fit into the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> first role.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "Supertesters" were introduced to deal with a
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> bottleneck or stalemate
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> to help get things over the hurdle which were
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> somewhat niche and
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> needed more testing.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> It would probably also be worth shining more light
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> on this topic and
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> linking up with the apps.formeego.org QA process so
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that similar
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> missteps can be avoided for Harmattan apps.
