Hi,
2012/8/6 Martin Srebotnjak<mi...@filmsi.net>:
Since some look like stoppers, especially the extension/bundled
dictionary bug, I wonder what localization teams leads think about it.
What is an office suite without a broken basic spell-checking function?
Workaround exists, and workaround does not have side effects, so it is
not a stopper.

I'm not convinced. Kludgy workarounds are no excuse for not fixing
critical bugs before a major release. I'm afraid that I have to agree
with Martin that I would have considered that particular bug a
blocker. My general impression is that FOSS users are not hung up on
schedules and a delayed release is not a big deal, but missing major
features in a major release seems like a bad idea.
You never get a second chance to make a good first impression.
As already stated here, we need more people to QA the versions earlier
and help fix the bugs and the patches correcting them sooner.
This is not "them" deciding to release, "them" deciding to do PR, "them
deciding the localization circle or "them" deciding what is good or bas.
This is *us* making our product as good as possible. To achieve that, we
need more people in the QA area and nobody but *us*, all of us can bring
interest and manpower to this area of our project.
That said, I'm trying to find time and energy to test some tools that
would help to bring newcomers with absolutely no QA skills.
But what is your opinion, what would help your community to have
interest in testing the features and the localization to improve them
and provide the quality we all would like to get ?
Thanks in advance for your answers and actions, it's really something
our project have to improve, and your opinion and help is more than welcome.
Kind regards
Sophie
