Ubuntu QA Tracker API
Greetings, My name is Simon Quigley and I mainly do Quality Assurance for the Lubuntu team. I have also written/revised a few manual testcases. I don't know if many of you knew this, but the QA tracker has an API that's old and hasn't been worked on for a while. I believe it would be an *extremely* useful tool to have, because it has potential for a *lot* of different applications. I recently contacted Nicholas Skaggs about this, and he has allowed me to take over the project. If you would like to help out, I have created a wiki page[1] that should help you get started. If you have any questions/comments/concerns/suggestions of any kind, don't hesitate to stop by #ubuntu-quality on Freenode, or contact me using my contact details below. PMs and emails are welcome. :) [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/API Thanks, Simon Quigley tsimonq2 on Freenode tsimo...@ubuntu.com -- Ubuntu-quality mailing list Ubuntu-quality@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-quality
