This projects depends on volunteer efforts. We have many routine tasks that need to be performed during a release cycle and even during ordinarily operation of our website and other public-facing services.
In many cases a given task is well-understood and many members of the project understand how to do it. For example, moderating the mailing lists. In other areas we might only have a single person who really understands how to do a task. We also have many volunteers, signing up on the mailing list and asking how to help, on nearly a daily basis. There should be a way that we can more clearly identify what the routine tasks are, who knows how to do them, who wants to learn how to do them, and who is willing to mentor or teach others how to get started. So I've started the following wiki page to track some of the most common tasks in the project: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Skills,+Resources+and+Mentors Feel free to insert additional tasks, or to add your name as an expert, mentor or someone who wants to learn. (Of course there are many other routine tasks performed by Apache Infra and not listed here. I'm focused on the tasks that are owned by the AOO project) This might also help is identify areas where we are currently dependent on a single person and want to train a backup, to cover for holidays, etc. Regards, -Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: qa-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: qa-h...@openoffice.apache.org
