Hmm... maybe it would help if someone created a quality team template
that could be used for any project. It might be easier to distribute
out a broiler-plate, and see who picks up what and fills in the blanks.<br>
<br>
For example, I would be interested in helping test patches for KHTML or
one of the KDE-PIM projects. It would be great if someone like me
looking for a similar task could browse these pages and find a project
that is in need of help, and more importantly a list of people working
on that job that they could communicate with to get help getting
started. <br>
<br>
Perhaps there is a common set of tasks that could be assigned to each
major module, and possibly sub-modules for something such as kde-libs.<br>
<br>
An idea for a few:<br>
<br>
1. Documentation<br>
a. Code (comments/doxygen)<br>
b. Application level (tooltips/help)<br>
c. Screenshots<br>
d. (Voice overlay/etc for screen movie captures..?)<br>
2. Testing / Bug validation<br>
3. Patch Testing<br>
4. Beginner Projects (simple tasks/bug fixes?)<br>
5. Larger projects (??)<br>
6. Quality-Member contacts. (New Member Mentor?)<br>
<br>
Now as a new person trying to get involved, it would definitely help me
feel more at home with getting familiar with the code and process of
the community, something as simple as a person you feel your not
bugging to ask simple questions. Seeing who the other members of the
quality-team that are focusing on a particular project might help in
finding a mentor to help you get started in getting involved, and less
time wandering without direction.<br>
<br>
Anyway, as a volunteer these are a few things that I would love to see,
but I guess that it's going to take a bit of work to get things
organized.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

<pre wrap="">I agree that is important to establish people who are interested in
maintaining these pages. But I think we need people to start them in the
first place to get things moving. Otherwise, I get the feeling that people
will post to this list offering help; some will take up specific jobs and
do them on their own for some time, whilst others will lose interest and
leave; of those who do work, many will get bored and leave; and so on.
