QA activity days often lead to a large number of duplicate issues being filed. The bugmaster (I'm assuming this is Andre) should probably have a say in whether there is capacity built in to handle 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.
