[ros-dev] Release testing apps list issues

[Olaf Siejka]

I feel that some things really need to be clearly explained, regarding apps
being use to test releases with.
At the moment, despite numerous attempts, i failed to find who (if anyone)
is responsible for compiling and maintaining the list of apps used for
release version testing. Especially, the non-downloader stuff section is
basically changing completely with every release, making those tests
virtually pointless, if we cant keep any consistency. On the other hand,
looks like no one is responsible for maintaining Downloader app list.
Without such responsibilites set, we are slipping into disorganisation,
which is both confusing and uproductive. Clear policies should be set and
observed in this matter, taking care of such basic thing as
adding/linking/opening a bug report for an app that failed in release Test.
I feel that testers have more productive things to do, than cleaning
up/sorting test entries, incorrectly made up by first timers.
Sorry if anyone feels this post to sound harsh, but its still really gentle
and kind, compared to obscenities, curses and swears others have to put up,
when i vent out after seeing the current state of Release testing wiki.
