We'll also open up for feedback from the community shortly, with the Alpha
release that will be tagged on Thursday (and likely be released the Tuesday
thereafter, stability permitting).

Likewise, for those that weren't on IRC when I said it: my plan is to create a
specific forum for Next testers, so that *before* bugs are filed, there's some
weeding out of other issues.

 From you (Plasma + Kwin) I will however need a list or something similar of
information that should be provided when having issues (like Kwin requiring
supportingInformation, for example). If it's too early for this, no problem:
but as the release date comes near I think it will be important to ensure that
we can properly handle users (and in turn, this may lead to better reports for
you developers, or so I hope ;).

Great idea!
Maybe this would be a good opportunity to try out a new alpha/beta testing process? Instead of asking people to directly open bugs, we might ask them to go to the forum, see whether a thread about a similar issue already exists and if not, create one. Then people in the forum could try to collect further information together with the testers and then our team opens bugs when they have enough information for a useful report. I think this may lead to a much better "signal-to-noise ratio" than people flooding bugzilla directly.
What do you think?
