[Owncloud] Releases and stuff

[Sam Tuke]

re: QA and testing:

We are a long way off achieving the optimal usefulness from developer testing 
due the lack of unit tests and the complexity of writing new ones.

Continuous integration and unit testing frameworks are very closely related to 
this discussion. Unfortunately the email thread "regarding quality" died off 
without any clear decisions.


re: Release process and a releases dude:

I agree with Thomas that better documentation and planning of releases would 
help ownCloud quality, community relations, and developer morale.

Personally I'd also appreciate it if someone took care of merging branches 
after feature-freezes, so that work doesn't get orphaned in unstable branch, 
for example.

Perhaps what contributors to this thread are asking for is more of the good 
work that Frank has been doing of this nature, and that this work is done more 
explicitly. I'm not sure if Frank's schedule can accommodate additional work 
however. Care to share your thoughts Frank?

Best,

Sam.
