Hello Everybody,

Apolozise to intrude in your Christmas & New Year celebrations with an
awkward subject in the mail. But, nevertheless this is necessary. We are
about to close our 2008 activities shortly, and, itś time for our own
introspection. I would like to know from all of you how we did in 2008
after re-inventing ourselves in early 2007. There are certain things
depending on which our next course of actions/activities will be
determined:

1) How many kernel issues (Bugs in code/documentation/etc) did LTP tests
help to uncover ?? This statistics is absolutely necessary for us, as
our primary goal is to test the kernel. And this statistics will point
us to the grey areas, or, things which need urgent attention. It would
be great if you can share such information.
2) Did we uncover issues in other libraries/manpages/etc while working
with the tests themselves ?? In other words, while testing through LTP,
did we enrich some other project(s) ?

I am very much aware that more than issues related to kernel/libraries,
we have been uncovering more of test case issues. And that is a very
good sign, as our test cases (which are pretty old) needs to be revamped
to suit the design changes in ever changing kernel(s). This is an
eternal job, and, hence will continue. Given the fact that we have very
limited people working on the project, we would still need to see
contributions in terms of new testcases (most important need of the
our), and fixing the existing ones.

While, i can promise to try my best to get people (whom i know and work
with) contribute to LTP in all terms, i would request you to increase
your sphere of influence for the same - for this test project needs lots
of contribution - the benefits of which you already know.

Regards--
Subrata
