Re: [libreoffice-users] ... not working ...

Hi :)
Ahhh, now i understand what QA is.  I think other projects call it different things such as the 
Triage Team and stuff like that.  I think a few people on this list could almost definitely help 
and maybe we could help push people in that direction.  

A few people have asked about how to become a dev and i usually point them to just the Easy Hacks 
but QA is a good way of getting hands-on quickly without actually having to instantly learn coding. 
 You clearly build-up a better understanding of the infrastructure used by LO devs and perhaps it 
helps you as you are learning coding by giving you examples of where it's most needed.  Right, next 
time i will point people towards QA.

Many thanks for all the snippets of information about all this!
Thanks and regards from
Tom :)
