Hi !

You might have noticed that I put up a call for Konqueror testers:

http://www.kde.org/jobs/jobs-open.html

Good news: feedback is quite good. 5-6 people mailed be so far
indicating their intent to help. Therefore, I can really comment this
page as an effective mean of finding volunteers for little tasks.

Downside: The job might either be too complex for non-developers
(especially those not in close contact with the current CVS development)
or I lack the skill (and time!) for detailed explanations.

All in all I might redraw the offer in order to avoid frustrating
experiences for potential volunteers. Unless someone would like to
simply re-word the offer to turn it into something more practical, of
course.

Harri.

Well, I don't have a lot of C/C++ development experience.  However, I can
read the majority of C/C++ code, since it is fairly similar to Java.  I took
a look at the list and I can see that there is a mass of bugs, but I would
be more than willing to clear that list up a bit by checking into a number
of them.  Any suggestions on getting a quick start?

Thanks,

Jeremy Kink

I was looking for someone who goes trough the bugs reported on
bugs.kde.org and checks whether they are still valid or not. Testing
should happen with current CVS sources. I'm not anymore sure if that's a
feasible thing to do for non-developers, though.

Every sort of testing is always very welcome, of course.

Harri.
