Hi Ludo<br>
<br>
I have downloaded the beta [0] and will be testing by basically
using it day to day with all my add-ons etc i.e. [3]<br>
<br>
I have a few questions:<br>
<br>
is there a dedicated forum area for the beta?<br>
<br>
is there somewhere we can keep track of which add-ons have already
been reported as incompatible with the beta? in fact, in general
it would be great to have somewhere with a table of which add-ons
are compatible with which version of TB (I'm currently using
release, earlybird and daily versions in tandem), and if the
compatibility reporter could feed into that in some way that would
be great.<br>
<br>
I have quite a few systems I can test on here: Windows XP ,
Windows 7 64bit , LUbuntu (basically Ubuntu)<br>
<br>
I can also stick on another linux system if you guys are short of
someone to test something, e.g. a Debian based Linux<br>
<br>
later on if I'm not as busy as I am now, I would like to learn
about the moztrap testing [1] as I have never used it before<br>
<br>
also I have never heard of eventbrite, but if it is at a handy
time for me I wouldn't mind having a go <span
class="moz-smiley-s1"><span> :-) </span></span><br>
<br>
In general I can't dedicate days at a time to this, but anyway I'd
like to be kept in the loop and offer any extra testing when I
have time<br>
<br>

Howdy all,<br>
<br>
I'd like to share with you what some of the quality plans are for
the next release of Thunderbird aka, Thunderbird 31.<br>
<br>
For 30 we are going to get two betas[0] one is currently being
built - and as soon as it's released I will ask people thru a blog
post to install it and use it until 31 comes out - because it will
get updates and will get you updated with everything. I'm very
interested in having windows users use it with theyr favorite
commercial extensions and repporting to those vendors (AV,
fishing, calendaring etc ...) issues they encounter.<br>
<br>
For the first beta I want people to use it and file bugs[3] (again
the bog post will contain a meta bug to link to , and if that last
sentence doesn't make sense let me know I'll explain with
screenshots ....).<br>
<br>
We'll have a second beta - for which I'd like to get way more
formal testing done using mozilla's moztrap[1] tool. There's a set
of tests written there that covers most of the funtionnality for
Thunderbird (it doesnt cover chat so if some of you want to add
chat test let me know and I'll give you the powers to add new test
in to our pools of tests). To make this work I've always asked
people in the past to sign up to participate - and then I would
split the work and send emails reminders manually to all the
testers. I don't have the time to do that this time - so I'm
proposing to host a virtual event using evenbrite[2] (I've used it
in the past and got quite sucesffull with it) - so I can moe
easily communicate with your guys (what do you think about that
?).<br>
<br>
For 31 we will also have 2 betas at least depending on what needs
fixing.<br>
<br>
How can you help ? <br>
<ul>
<li>Participate in testing is easy - just requires time and
reading some english</li>
<li>Translate this and post it to your local mozilla-community</li>
<li>Make the beta available on your favorite linux distribution</li>
<li>if you are an addon authors now is the time to test and fix
your addon.</li>
<li>Spread the word</li>
</ul>
Ludo<br>
ps if you want to help *now* please run the beta today.<br>
