<br>Here is a initial proposal, suggestions welcome:<br>
<br>* Roles:<br> - Tester - Any community member<br> - Master/Admin - Selected testing squad members. <br><br>There will be some special permissions in the testing interface, these should be only used in extreme cases after prior note sent to the testing squad mailing list. <br>
<br>* Master/Admin's special permissions:<br> - Can demote packages when there is known blockers. (maintainer obligation)<br> - Can promote packages when they are stuck in the testing queue for a while without any known blocker. <br>
<br>* Testing Squad mailing list:<br> - Public mailing list where are discussed any situation/issue/doubts concerning the applications in the <a href="http://maemo.org" target="_blank">maemo.org</a> repositories.<br> - Receives a automatic notification for each packages that enters testing, is demoted or is promoted. <br>
<br>* Organized testing:<br> - In each week one of the testing squad members is responsible for the elaboration of a small list of apps that should be tested. We'll start with a 5 a day (or 3 a day) approach in the beginning. Of course the testers are free to test other apps or do all the testing in just one day. The objective is have the apps tested by the end of the week. <br>
<br>After gathering some feedback, I'll post instructions how to join the team.<br><br>What do you think ?<br><br>[1] - [url]<a href="http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-testing/QA_Checklist/QA_Improvements%5B/url%5D" target="_blank">http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-testing/QA_Checklist/QA_Improvements[/url]</a><br>
