<br/>
<br/>This transparency is actually the thing that makes me feel secure about the process. The testers are independent and operate with their own names.
<br/>
<br/>The (ex-)qa-manager in me is also excited by the fact that for once the testers are really independant.

<br/>
<br/>Hear hear!
<br/>If the process does not work, then it get's changed. If it works we'll just be happy and discuss how to make it more efficient.
<br/>
<br/>I'm already thinking that there might be a need for a Maemo testers' club that makes sure that even niche apps don't get stranded in testing.
<br/>
<br/>Also I'll take the time to ask Nokia testing to look at the tooling issue. I would like to have some nice set of tools for testing the measurable aspects of applications (like battery usage as Igor pointed out).
<br/>
<br/>And in any case we need to talk about Anidello's idea on feedback, with beer or not.
