Volunteer Experiences

Admin Things

Easy to get to Litmus, Bugzilla
Everything has its own login: Bugzilla, Litmus, wiki pages, QMO

QMO

Didn't know about nightly tester tools and selenium
Who's in charge of what? if I do have something specific I want to go into, still have to go through IRC to find out who to contact
Where do I go to get info is no one is available on IRC? I had no idea Moz Wiki existed until someone linked me to it.

IRC Chat

I tried to volunteer on work nights in the beginning, but no one was around to answer questions
Ended up waiting almost 2-3 weeks to help out before I was able to contact someone and that was when I searched for mozilla e-mails through the old QA website...and that was Jay

Forums

A number of unanswered posts for days and weeks on end
- Maybe try an e-mail system to specified admins for that forum/thread?

Volunteer Task Assignment

Vetting litmus tests was nice and simple as a starter task
Next step, creating test cases from in-litmus? flagged bugs had an extensive ramp-up time
- How do I search for in-litmus? flags via bugzilla?
- How and why are in-litmus bugs flagged?
- What's the difference between in-testsuite and in-litmus ? Should the user worry about it?
- What test run should the test case be put into?
- Is there a list of common terms used throughout litmus to reference when creating expected results, STR and regression bug id's?
