QA Testing Preferences wiki page
I'd like all QA volunteers to add a row for themselves to the
following wiki page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/QA+Testing+Preferences
We'll use this to track what our capabilities and preferences are.
For example, we get some bug reports that deal with printing, or
accessing a file over a Windows network, or a bug that only shows up
in the Russian translation. I want to avoid assigning such bugs to a
volunteer unless I'm sure they are able to test it. Similarly, I
think every volunteer is familiar with Writer, Calc and Impress, but
fewer are experts in Base or in scripting. So it is good to indicate
whether you have expertise there,
I've also put a comment column where you can put any other special
notes about your testing capabilities and interests, e.g., you like
spreadsheet formulas or you have experience testing accessibility,
etc.
Thanks !!!
-Rob

I did not want to push you to do it with this page, it is done and it
problaly creates confusion to move it, it was just as a hint for future
pages.

OK. Murphy owes me big time. So I'll migrate that page over to MWiki
the next time I'm at my desk, probably tomorrow. But for now
volunteers can enter their info on the CWiki page.

no and no
Or more correctly since murphy gives no guarantees, if you cannot create a
user directly and edit, then I have made a configuration error, which I
will correct.

Does it still require requesting special permission or a multi-day
delay for a new volunteer to get permissions to edit in MWiki?

Rob.
Would it not be easier if we try to make new pages on mwiki:
1) new people can concentrate on 1 wiki,
2) we have an old discussion to move cwiki to mwiki, when the new version
is installed (which has happened)
Personally I live with 2 wiki, but I do not find it "smart".

Mine was the first one entered, so it was automatically in the correct order ;-)
But I just moved it into the right place.

Rob,
Then cwiki asks us to enter our data in alpha order by given name. Should we enter them starting below your name since you're the director or moderator?
