de-duplication either manually or, automatically.
It's not coincidence that the proposal puts bug triaging activities at
the same level than testing activities. Volunteers can help, and a lot,
dealing with the long tail of Bugzilla reports that fully dedicated
teams have no time to go through.
The other thought I had was about the layered personas
being created
for the team. Since Chris points out later in this thread that QA is a
relatively "new concept", being egalitarian would have a much higher
chance at a larger percentage of committed members of a QA group.
Sorry, I don't understand this paragraph.
Just in case: in the proposal there are some profiles and roles
identified, with the simple purpose of agreeing what kind of people we
are looking for and how do we expect them (us) to interact and
collaborate with each other beyond the pure tasks of testing or bug
triaging.
