Re: Helping Out.

I don't think the only 'job' for QA is to test RCs. There are plenty of 'Open' bug reports in the bug database which should be checked to these statuses: 'Analyzed' - Real bug, reproduced(!). 'Bogus' - Not a bug. Bullshit. 'Closed' - Fixed already. 'Duplicate' - There is already a 'Analyzed' of it. Also, we have an IRC channel on #php.bugs @EFnet which we have been using to discuss about some reports and sometimes even Zeev is there. ;) If everybody else in QA team is sleeping, I am not! :) I'm trying to spend most of my time coding a new bug system though. --Jani On Tue, 7 Aug 2001, Cynic wrote: >Hi Andy, > >I guess the reason you haven't received any welcome message >is that everybody expected Zak Greant would do that, and he's >too busy.
