#287 Add Bodhi testing guidelines to Bodhi?
Closed: Fixed None Opened 13 years ago by kparal.

My thinking process:

  1. I was about to test https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/NetworkManager-0.9.3.997-0.7.fc17
  2. I realized I don't know what karma to post when NM works in general, but I haven't tested the linked bug fixes
  3. I know we have some karma guidelines somewhere on the wiki
  4. I couldn't find the page
  5. I found the page at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Proven_tester#Feedback_procedures after some time
  6. My use case doesn't seem to be mentioned anyway. But that's not important. The question is - shouldn't we link these instructions directly from the bodhi page? No one will find it otherwise.

That wiki page is proven tester specific, but the "Feedback procedures" chapter is not. I think it would be really worth the effort to create a new wiki page containing just guidelines for correct karma posting and then ask Bodhi maintainers to link that page directly from the Bodhi page. I imagine it could be displayed besides the "Add a comment" text are, named something like "Karma posting guidelines".

What do you think?

Does anyone feel like volunteering for creating this separate wiki page? I'll gladly create a ticket for Bodhi afterwards.


It seems like a good idea, yeah. Not high priority right now, though. I'd usually be happy to work on the page (since I wrote a lot of the original), but I probably wouldn't wind up finding time for it right now :(

I have a bit of time now, so I'll take this one. I'll send a draft of the separated 'feedback guidelines' page to the list soon.

OK, here's my draft of the separated page:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Adamwill/Draft_QA_Update_feedback_guidelines#Introduction

I sent a thread to test@ to propose the draft.

So the draft went into production at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Update_feedback_guidelines and I updated Wiki links; Luke has said he will add a clear link to the guidelines in the next Bodhi update.
