Hi,
I think ReactOS lacks of testers since WaxDragon is gone.
Just because I don't have time to be TC doesn't mean I'm gone. ;0)
So I had the following idea: A page which lists all regressions and gives you the option to report a working / non-working revision and calculates the range in which it the regression was caused from that data.
Honestly , Bugzilla is the best place. Since testers should not only concern themselves with regressions, but unimplemented features. Having a separate page will just be another thing that needs maintained, and frankly getting good bug reports is hard enough.
I know that bugzilla comments are actually sufficient for this and of course this system would have to be linked with bugzilla, but I think that a page where the regressions are listed up would be more motivating to help testing.
What do you think about it ?
I think a "status" page and a testing guide would be most helpful. The status page could be used to fend off the inevitable questions, and the guide will highlight the things that *do* need testing, and if everyone is testing the same things, then regressions will become self-evident.
Here is the "guide", which is just my testing notes: http://waxdragon.homeip.net/~ford/reactos/ros_regression_items.html
We really need a TC.
