Hi all, I've put togheter a more official proposal about an official testing team and crowdsourcing testing here: http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/GSIP+42+-+Official+testing+team
Things I'm not so sure about: - the testing window length. One week over a monthly release cycle seems a bit long for the developers, but I guess it's just right for the testing team - handling the freeze: shall we freeze the branch or tag and fix any bug against the tag too (treating the tag as a short lived branch for a little while?) - official testing team power: atm the official team gets recognition and the ability to discuss (vote?) what a critical issue is. Can we offer more? Should we ask more? (like, try to participate in the testing of every release... thought I fear this will end up scaring away people, whilst we want as much testing as possible) Cheers Andrea -- Andrea Aime OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org Expert service straight from the developers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
