Hi, I plan to send a version of this e-mail to engineering and wikitech lists, but I would like to get some feedback from a smaller and friendlier group first. :)
I have copy/pasted the text of the e-mail message to etherpad[0] so feel free to leave comments there, if you prefer so. Thanks! Željko -- TLDR: If you care about Selenium tests that run daily[1], please take ownership of repository (or repositories) that you care about. Our Selenium tests provide useful feedback, finding problems in several places, when there is something wrong with: #1 the repository they are testing (broken production or test code), #2 beta and/or production clusters, #3 continuous integration. It is really important that all tests that run daily are green all the time. I have started cleaning up tests[2-3]. If there is a failure, we have to investigate and fix it as soon as possible, ideally in one business day. To be able to do that, we need contact information for each repository. I have started collecting information[3] from various sources. What does taking ownership mean? Your e-mail address will be added to Jenkins job repository configuration[4] and you will receive one e-mail a day per repository and job, but only if there are any failed jobs. In short, if you are an owner of one repository with one job, you will receive 0-2 e-mails a day, depending on the stability of the job. I do not care if the contact e-mail address is a person or a team. All I need is a reply if I send an e-mail message to that address, without having to be a member of a lot of mailing lists. I am completely fine with being the contact person for all repositories, but since I do have limited time to spend on this, it means that I will mostly be disabling broken tests/jobs, and focusing on fixing problems related to continuous integration, not problems related to broken production or test code. Questions? Comments? Please do let me know.
