Re: [libreoffice-users] Quality Assurance

Hi :)
I think there is a list for people working in QA 
http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa
and hopefully a section of the wiki.  
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA

Tbh i thought it was more about testing to see if the stated improvements and bug-fixes really 
worked and then as a side issue tried various existing features to check they hadn't been broken by 
the new code.  Sounds like you are putting too much work into testing just 1 aspect but that 
happens to be an aspect that many of us are particularly interested to see working properly.  

So, good work chap! :)  
Regards from 
Tom :)
