[Bodington-developers] Testing 2.8

[Jon M. <jo...@te...>]

Dear all,

Ive been contracted to do a certain amount of testing on 2.8 before 
release at the end of the month. Im starting on Monday and will do about 
5 days full time equivalent over two weeks. 

There are two things that are prerequisits to this work:

1) Stuff gets commited to CVS so I get grab it and build. (I dont want 
to keep rebuilding and retesting)
2) The detail gets added to the list of new features so I know how the 
new functionality is supposed to behave rather than test against what I 
guess is its proper behaviour.

There is a strong sense of urgency about this because for you to fix 
problems that I find I will need to start reporting the problems as I 
find them, rather than save them up for a final report and I need to 
start soon. Also, I have another client who needs me to do work this 
month and that client has priority over my time since they engaged me first.

Ill be putting stuff straight into the Wiki so can someone Email me a 
password? I would like my user name to be jonmaber or similar.

Ta.

Jon

I've sent a password.

What about using the SF bugtracker?

If you do, the trackers accept anonymous reports, but I think it's preferable to log in, so that we 
get a name against each report. If you need to add further categories to bugs, I can create them. 
There is a mailing list which receives notifications when reports are created or modified: 
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bodington-trackers

Thanks for the password - works fine.

Yes, I think SF bugtracker is the thing to use, at least for the time 
being but I expect to directly Email whoever I think is the author of 
the thing that broke.

What's the intended purpose of the 2.8 release page in the Wiki? Description of new features for 
informing the public when we release it, or more detailed stuff that we all need to know for 
testing/deployment? I'm presuming the latter...

uhmm, both!

The real detailed stuff needed for users when the release comes is

1) what does it do;
2) what do i need to do to use it.

I just getting started on this - I=B4ve put a page on the wiki and its=20
likely I=B4ll be editing it every day.

By the way, is there any reason why there shouldn't be a prominent link=20
to the Wiki from the bodington.org home page?

By the way of the by the way, isn't this wiki page coding bizarrely=20
arcane? Its like WordStar cerca 1980.
