[libreoffice-projects] Does wiki want to come out and play?
Hello, I spent the last week with setting up our new wiki. I've copied all articles, users and most configuration settings, and enhanced them, based on the recent MediaWiki version. What is currently missing: - multiple languages - caching (thus it might be slow) - autopromoting/autoconfirming (spam protection) - WYSIWYG editor (there exists none) I've also enhanced spam protection, but that might trigger false alerts. So, what I'd like as feedback from you now is: - bugs and problems - feature and extension requirements - proposals on what to change Please check your favorite page if it renders allright, please check if all the functions work, and if any of the newly-introduced limitations for spam protection interrupt with your productive work and of course, let me know, what functionality you are missing, since now is the best time to include it. One word of warning, I can't emphasize that enough: This wiki is for TESTING PURPOSES only. Users, articles and settings - in other words: ANYTHING - created here WILL be deleted when the testing is over. There are NO backups. Content WILL break. Do NOT use this wiki for anything productive. So, after you've read all those warnings :) here you get the URL for testing: http://wikitest.documentfoundation.org Please direct feedback to webs...@global.libreoffice.org Thanks a lot for your support, and looking forward to migrationg to the new wiki soon, Florian -- Florian Effenberger, Chairman of the Board (Vorstandsvorsitzender) Tel: +49 8341 99660880 | Mobile: +49 151 14424108 The Document Foundation, Zimmerstr. 69, 10117 Berlin, Germany Gemeinnützige rechtsfähige Stiftung des bürgerlichen Rechts Legal details: http://www.documentfoundation.org/imprint -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to projects+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/projects/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[libreoffice-projects] minutes of the LibreOffice QA call 2012-10-05 (today) 1300UTC
Hi, Here are the minutes of the QA call today. attendance: Thorsten, Joel, Bjoern pending action items: - merge 3.5 and 3.6 in one big bibisect repo (Bjoern) - recheck and tweak bibisect details (Bjoern) - Ping cloph if we can make that switchable to say "Bug" instead of "EasyHack" when explcitly requested (Bjoern) - new Bug Hunting Sessions (Cor) completed action items: - setup hard hack wiki page (Joel) structured manual testing (Yifan/Petr): - no news bug wrangling: - no new hardhacks needed this week - open/closed hardhack overview AI: - add closed hard hacks to wiki (Joel) AI: - blog about it (Bjoern) AI: - lead Joel to get his blog on the planet, once he has one (Bjoern) - triaging project update (Joel) - we should poke native lang team (Thorsten) AI: - poke Sophie about triaging (Bjoern) - bugzilla contract updates -> postponed, call next week community building/communication (Joel/Florian?) - QA Wochenende in Essen - need more people - few newcomer - bibisect for windows very popular - ping Norbert to go forward with it - timebased releases still perceived as a problem - stable is essentially blocked -- it is open for half a year for critical bugs only and hard hacks are the way to communicate those to development without overcommitment (Thorsten/Bjoern) - more testers of master/3.x.0 needed - marketing storm always hits 3.x.0 - has to be stable enough to prevent backslash - needs to be announced at this point in time to allow early adopters bugreporting - auto updater (Windows) - initial troubles should be solved now - activate for which minor? 3.x.2/3.x.3 - maybe offer a update button without popup for early-adopters in addition (pull-model on request, push at .2/.3) (Bjoern) - BSA API - some reservations: - we have no trouble with the number of initial bug reports - too easy bugfiling lowers the quality of reported bugs, creating even more work for bugwranglers - we are in need of bug wranglers, not so much reporter - most of 'too late bugs' are not 'not reported', but 'not visible to dev as a critical bug' - instead, we should create a landing page on the end of the BSA? - invite people to: - confirm bugs - verify fixed bugs (mostly to motivate more people into running master) - maybe even have a menu entry in About for that?
