KDE Quality action: looking to the future

[Carlos Leonhard Woelz]

Hi,

A lot was done by the quality team this release cycle, and I thank all who 
participated.

From my point of view, the pim task pages was a success. there were 
improvements done by quality volunteers to kpilot docs, whatsthis, testing 
and usability. The Kontact docs were updated, got a new splash and new icons. 
KOrganizer docs also got help from quality team members.

Cervisia docs got some attention the last few days as well.

It is hard to see the product of the quality teams, as it is not directed to 
this list, but to the application lists and kde-cvs. So if you want to add 
more stuff to this list, please do so, as I plan to write a follow up to 
attract more people.

On the documentation for contributors front, we got all quality guides this 
release cycle. Thanks to Tom, for the media guide, and to Marc for the 
programming guide. Let's improve them and the tools available to 
contributors.

I will update the docs guide, work to make Quanta a better tool for editing 
docbook, with a proper toolbar.  If someone is working on that, please let me 
know. I will ad a KConfig section as well.

To increase the exposure, we need more links from the kde.org pages. After the 
strings freeze, I will do that.

Now we must prepare for the bug busting season. Is the bugs guide OK? We could 
do announcement calling people to report and to bug triage. We could discuss 
this it in a new thread, as maybe it is better to set focus of the new 
contributor on some applications, as we can guide them better.

I have some testing work to do as well, with the applications I am currently 
helping (cervisia and kpilot), and I imagine you all have the same task.

And looking into the future, we could update the tasks pages for the new 
contributors and new release cycle. This was a very good experience with 
kde-pim, I imagine we could do something as good for the other modules.

Cheers,

Carlos Woelz
