Maybe, but just giving more time between releases does not solve it IMO.

The question is how we can get better testing and a more clear view on 
what was tested well, what has to be tested etc pp.

Maybe something like that would help: Somebody collects the new features 
and bigger changes we do during development phase. That requires to 
follow development quite closely and talk to devs from time to time. For 
all the new stuff,'test instructions' need to be set up, maybe in a wiki 
for example. These test instructions don't have to be bold, just a few 
lines which people can repeat in their szenarios and the expected 
outcome. When it comes to releasing, we could somehow collect how many 
people tested which test instructions in which scenarios. This would be 
a beginning.

Oh man, I am dreaming of an organized QA group in the ownCloud 
community... It's so important.
