[maemo-developers] Extras-testing improvements

[From: Attila Csipa]

I hope Valerio won't mind me taking the initiative here, but I'd like once 
again to underline the testing-squad is not the Spanish Inquisiton nor do we 
adhere to a dogma which makes testing procedures unchangeable (and we 
certainly don't want to create/impose them without a general consent). Many of 
the problems brought up have been met before, are already known and have 
been/are being worked on to make Extras-testing as painless as possible (and 
yes, I also personally have several packages in Extras-testing that make me 
curse at some of the current rules, so I know both sides of this occasionally 
painful story :). I invite everyone who has not alredy done so to take a good 
look at

http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-testing/QA_Checklist/QA_Improvements

and see what's cooking, suggest more procedural or technical improvements. For 
some things we need maemo.org staff help, some we can do on our own, and last 
but not least, just a casual idea can also be very useful. I believe we ALL 
want better quality software, developers, testers, users, everybody. Let's 
make Extras-testing a place where we help applications get to Extras by 
improving them, not just kick them back to extras-devel, screaming. Thank you.

Regards,
Attila
