We've got a bunch of new volunteers on the QA list. They've gone through the orientation pages on the website and I've encouraged them to take a batch of defect reports (appropriate to their testing platform) and review them. I'm hoping we can clear out some of the backlog of unconfirmed reports that accumulated, much of it before the Apache project started. It is natural to expect that mistakes will be made, in classifying defects, indicating the resolution, distinguishing what is and isn't a bug versus an enhancement, etc. Everyone new tends to make these errors at first. And since we have a lot of new volunteers we'll certainly see a few of these kinds of errors. So I ask for your patience as they come up to speed. Any gentle correction and encouragement you can offer them when you see an error is also greatly appreciated. Regards, -Rob
The fact that we have a bunch of new volunteers for QA is great news IMO! Your advice noted.
