Well, what's next in QA Area on xoops ?

For now, here are our short-term goals :
1 /Release a new version of our tool for modules, adding some improvements detected during our first POC. Make a new POC if necessary.
1bis / Release publicly QA Results for our first POC (Formulaire module)
2/Look for a dedicated module that will suit your needs much better than MS Excel (seems GIJOE has some ideas on that point)
3/ Modify xoops.org module repository to add one (or more) dedicated field for QA.
4/ Move our QA works in a proper area : should it be in core dev area, documentation area, or in a dedicated area ?
5/ Decide collectively with core and module developers if those tests have to be made by devs themselves or by QA Team members (testers). I personally think we can imagine that module developers, as they add their module in download repository, have to set to "Yes" the QA field to indicate their module is passing the QA requirements. If not, calculate how many xoopsers we need to make QA certification,and also call for new members. Set our internal rules (which module have to be certified, when, who ?)

Then
6/ Help core with xoops 2.3 debugging during alpha, beta and RC stage of our product
7/ Update our tool for 2.3x series

Over the past year have reviewed and approved around 10 new
local support sites. Tried in the beginning to get more activity and
discussion about improving communications between all support sites,
but momentum stopped and thread turned to negative subjects.

Suggestions for improvement:

1. First I think that a new forum (public) should be created for user
input and so some announcements (and local support site news) can be
easily submitted.

2. The addition of active members to help (hopefully multilingual but
not necessary) to help with the communications with the individual
local support sites on a more direct basis. With around 25 total local
support sites it should be broken down to at lease 5 per
representative of XOOPS.org. Hopefully enough to break it down even
further for more direct contact.

Have the leaders of the local support sites actively supply news and
share ideas. Help in translation of news and events both ways. To not
feel alone or alien from this main site (we all need to work together.

At this time, due to my work (which they insure me will improve) I am
unable to continue on my own and do need a team to delegate and help
with activities of the team.
