Heads up on Extra Mile initiative

[Aurélien Gâteau]

Hi,

Following the Akademy BoF session, I have been working a bit on setting things 
up for the Extra Mile initiative.

# Wiki page

There is now a reference wiki page: 
http://community.kde.org/Getinvolved/Extra_Mile

# Bugzilla setup

I opted for using a tracker bug in bugzilla to track (sic) extra mile bugs. 
This is bug 303462, which is aliased as "extramile", so 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=extramile points you to it.

(I decided to use a tracker bug instead of a keyword because it is possible to 
subscribe to a tracker bug, and should this initiative stops in the future, 
the unused keyword won't be staying around)

sysadmins are working on getting the bugzilla-mediawiki plugin installed, 
which will make it easy to list extramile bugs on the wiki page. Meanwhile, 
one can list them with this query:

https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?f1=blocked&list_id=151096&o1=anywords&query_format=advanced&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&v1=303462

Do you think it would make sense to add it as a global saved search?

Right now the assignee for the tracker bug is myself. Do you think it should 
be kde-testing@ or any another address?

# Getting started

So far there are very few bugs listed there, 2 from Gwenview, 4 from KDE 
Telepathy, which is understandable since the initiative hasn't been publicly 
announced.

I will be on vacation from August 10 to 25, with little to none Internet 
access, so I want to wait until I am back to blog about it (and possibly 
unleash the flood). Until then, if you have bug reports which you consider 
candidates for extra mile bugs it would be great if you could mark them as 
such. This would help bootstraping the initiative before going fully public.
