Hi all, Just to follow up on chx's email. This weekend we will be starting a push to get more people involved in testing patches. A video tutorial (another in the quick and dirty line ;)) is in the works and this will be heavily promoted in the Dojo over the coming weeks (maybe front page of d.o too?). We will be also adding a feature at the Dojo for "Patch of the Day" to promote patches that need testing (we're focusing on core right now, but that doesn't mean that high- use contribs can't be used as well). Note that this is functionality testing and not necessarily code review so patches that have some basic instructions for newbie testers on what to test will be high on the list (chx's menu patch instructions are simple and to the point - it doesn't have to be elaborate, just give direction). I'm really hoping to give people who feel they can't contribute an inroad to helping out and more community involvement as well as building up a good community of testers that will make our push for Drupal 6 even more productive. Thanks in advance for helping guide new testers on your patches. - Addi (add1sun) On Mar 27, 2007, at 9:05 PM, Karoly Negyesi wrote:
Hi,
While discussing http://drupal.org/node/130991 on #irc I got this:
"i think its well over the level of comprehension of most except for a select few maybe, its not like no one is interested in it, far from it :)"
While I actually disagree -- the code is not that complicated not at all -- you can still help, lots.
I have followed up with a brief functionality description to encourage *functionality reviews*
I will do the same in the future so people without deep code knowledge can help out.
Thanks for that.
ChX
