[maemo-developers] R: adaptation of Extras QA hurdles

[From: emme750]

Sorry for my sucks English.
I have already written both on the forum that the Council, pointing out that
there are still many applications in extras-testing. Some can be already
unlocked, but maybe in the meantime some Maintainer were "lost". For
example, I sent emails to some of these "maintainer", and in fact one told
me that now no longer had the n900 and then could not follow that
application.
It obvious that Super Tester are struggling to keep up with the list of
applications, while there are few "normal users" that rates, though in fact
regularly they are using applications that are in extras-testing. From what
I've seen, the majority of users do not even know that the applications
should be evaluated.
I do not think that is sufficient to lower the number of votes, if there are
no tester, must encourage people to test and rate.
I think it is necessary to promote the testing, and maybe doing more
"Testing marathon", as has already been made in the past.
Another possibility would be to propose every 10-15 days one or more
applications to test. To avoid problems, maybe it would be better that at
least a Super Tester has already tested the / applications to be proposed.
This is how to dispose of the Queue and the developers would be much more
encouraged to continue to produce new applications.
