We should now start to discuss what changes are most important to animate the QA. 1) First I think it´s important that we create a bug form system (like Bugzilla has :) ) to reduce the number of bogus bug reports. It should be a guided system where a user has to query the bug database to search if a bug exists, then he should pass the bug writing guidelines and a document telling the user when not to enter bug. The standard bug enter form shouldn´t be easily accessible. People on php-dev can bookmark it for example. 2) bugs.php.net sould accept (at least one) a new type of login enabling us (as least) to clean the bug database of bogus entries. I´d propse also to set all bugs´s initial state to "unconfirmed" instead of "open" 3) Users should be forced to register to be able to enter a bug, to avoid the "error - enter bug - forget bug" behaviour Then this types of login would make sense: a) standard user, will be created on posting bug, inital bug status [unconfirmed] b) developer, initial bug status [open] - or if developer wants this bug to be confirmed by another user [unconfirmed], can confirm bugs c) QA and CVS, extended rights (later needed for regression testing) While we decided to combine the bug system with automatic regression tests, I think bugzilla won´t fit our needs. (Someone could review bugzilla, perhaps it fit´s or needs though). -- o----------0-¬---------O-·---¬----o---®-----o o O ° . | http://www.kiffen.de | pRoteçt y0ur bRaín |0 O ° ¤ ° · 0°·³°²'²³-¹'³´³°^°³~³²³°'³²²¨³²^³¹³²°²³`³º³°Þ ° o © ° . · | psychedelic experience | gott@kiffen.de | O ° o ° o-¬--o--0-----©-·--O-----o-----0-¤----------o 0 ° · ° . ¤ ·
