This particular call for testing had two reasons why I didn't consider participating:
a) It called for testing new features, but I am much more interested, and consider it much more important, to make sure the old features still work correctly, ie. there are no regressions.
Well, nobody said to test ONLY new features in that call for testing. I think also reports on regressions are welcome!
b) "Basic reqirements: * install openSUSE 11.1 beta 4 * meet in #opensuse-testing on irc.freenode.org" I do not use IRC.
You can use this ML, who is in the IRC channel is subscribed here too usually. I don't personally like ML, but I hate more to have the information spread on a lot of media, so a bit of flexibility doesn't hurt either. ;-)
Apart from that, I must admit that my testing enthusiasm has been somewhat dampened by a recent series of WONTFIX resolutions for problems I reported, a few of them with closing remarks that seemed to imply what I reported was "my problem". So I guess positive feedback from developers that test reports are appreciated, taken seriously, and the reported issues addressed, would go a long way in encouraging more testers.
I agree on this and you are not alone with these feelings. I would call that one of the "risks of the job" though. Regards, A. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help@opensuse.org
