[maemo-developers] Quality assurance of "stable" software: my battery drained in few hours

[From: Sivan Greenberg]

Yes, I am working on this :) Real life and bills paying can sometimes
get in the way but I'm slowly going back to being fully active with
MeeGo.

I will send a notification to go over and review [0] once it is
finished, as so far I outlined the tools that will enable us better QA
but have not expanded them and elaborated.

Then I would ask the TSG to approve the team creation, which would
also attempt to engage users in QA and specific niche testing of the
software we deliver.
