[Testing Squad] - July 2010 - We need testers!
 

Hi everyone,

after the incredibly great work done in this thread, I've created a new list for July 2010, in order to help new testers with the Extras-Testing QA rules and to facilitate every tester's work.

Maemo.org Testing-Squad needs new members, so if you want to help us just read this page and choose an app to test from the Repository QA queue. After you have tested it, just vote in the app dedicated page by clicking on the thumbs up or thumbs down. If you need help in testing software, or in understanding and following the QA queue rules, just write in this thread or send me a PM, I'll answer as soon as I can.

One community member has created a very good Google Spreadsheet automatically updated from the Extras-Testing QA queue pages, you can use it for quickly look at the general situation and for choosing what to test. This is the link. When using it, remember that it could be a little outdated if compared to testing pages, and that it could contain errors, so keep it in mind.

I put an app in the can-be-voted-down list or in the you-can-easily-test-these-apps list basing my decision on other testers' testing experience, and of course mine: keep in mind that we are not infallible, so please always verify our vote (personally testing the app and reading its comments in its testing page), and if you find us wrong, simply vote differently and write your reason in the comments.

You can use the links in this page, or use this nice automatic spreadsheet:

Any chance of editing the link content so that the actual app name is visible? Now many links are shortened from the middle with '...', just where the actual package name would be.

If you have ever complained about of lack of applications for maemo, this thread is your chance to do something about it :)

Some of them already passed (wormux) some are about to (pianobar), and some are simply outside cases.

Appreciate the effort. But implementing a site's API is quite specific and promotion is going to suffer, regardless.

Others, like libellule didn't address observations 2-3 months ago. Has 2 negative votes and, should I choose to vote, it would also be down. Add a better name, some description. A few options couldn't hurt, either. Not even a post or vote from developer.

A new spreadsheet has been created for that, it takes all the links from my list and sum that, it's simply amazing!

Here's the link:
