Re: Hello! (introduction of me)

Hi Liz, Thanks for the introduction! Welcome aboard! You will find that work on the QA team tends to go in fits and starts. We gear up around a specific issue (like an upcoming release candidate or a cleanup of the bug database), work on it for a couple of weeks and then gear down again til something else comes along. Some of the more industrious members weed the bug and user notes databases. Stick around for a bit and something will come along. If you are eager to get moving, then just post to the list - there is always something that needs doing. Again, welcome! --zak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Liz" <liz@xcalibur.co.uk> To: <php-qa@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2001 3:43 PM Subject: [PHP-QA] Hello!
