Some good news, people who want to join Mozilla.org's quality assurance ship, will be able to help join rsn now. According to Simon Paquet and Asa's blogs bug days are coming back. What do you need to know/do ta be able to help bug triagging ? not many things, you need to be familiar with IRC, and have some time, that's all !!! At first i thought simon idea's was stupid, because since the products are more mature now less bugs are discovered - hence less QA is needed. but many bug that do not get triagged quickly get sorta lost. Also bringing back bug days might bring new triagger, and new developers onboard.
I don't like the tindxerboxes builds, because this idea will consume bandwith, will make bugs open on version XXXX, closed with XXXX+1 (the diff between the two being a one line patch). I do understand that regression will be caught faster, but I still think that a build per day is enough. Even with a build per days some things are missed. More people doing test is what is really needed. I used to download builds every day, but even that is a lengthy process. I know I could you some scripts do achieve it, but I like to have control. Anyhow getting more people to test on a daily basis might come from the bug days.
