I might note also that the available pool of qualified volunteers is relatively small, since they must have general knowledge of most of Linux and its add-on packages, plus deep knowledge of the portions that they are volunteering to manage. There are plenty of Linux _users,_ but not so many experts available.

We have to start with something Leslie. No one was expert of anything at birth (if we don't count crying, eating, and ... ), and after 25 y. many are skilled professionals. It is mere will to do more that makes baby crawl, walk, run, talk. The same is valid for us. In a day, or two, I'll come with new thread that will be summary of few attempts to improve user experience related to software errors and its handling. I'm pretty sure that only few people are needed to work on core components, ie. to setup missing parts of infrastructure that will count more on will and ability to learn, than on skills that one will bring in. If you find time you can check: http://en.opensuse.org/Testing http://en.opensuse.org/Testing_Team and this is my initial attempt: http://en.opensuse.org/BugBusters without much explanation about workflow, what should go in etc. Reading Alberto's proposal on http://en.opensuse.org/Testing_Team it seems that idea of activity that BugBusters should cover is subset of what Testing Team should cover. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
