I don't mind stepping up for QA Acting Team Leader. If you have any notes/resources to share with me that goes into a cycle, please do share. I'm also helping out with testing and bug triaging as well now. As a new comer to the entire QA process, information currently seems scattered and I ideally would like to document the entire cycle process for QA (without duplicating any thing that is out there already) in one or few pages for anybody that would also like to participate in the QA process specifically for Ubuntu Gnome.
