This page contains information about the Goals of the QA/Team.

Work In Progress by Joel and Robinson : This page is currently being drafted by Joel and Robinson... consider nothing on here canonical until we talk about it at a QA Meeting

Why have Goals?

The QA Team has chosen various goals in an attempt to create a fun and focused work environment. Having a written set of goals helps both the members of the Team and new visitors/contributors understand what we're aiming to accomplish.

A specific set of goals makes it easier for people to join-in and feel a sense of purpose and accomplishment.

The Goals

There are many goals of the LibreOffice project, perhaps chief among them distributing a high-quality FLOSS office suite to everyone in the world. The QA Team has chosen several of its own goals:

Triage all bugs within 60 days

Proposed by: Joel
Robinson agrees with the spirit of the goal (but is concerned about having enough warm bodies to make it happen)

Provide a happy, fun, and respectful work environment

Proposed by: Robinson
(This might be more of a Rule than a Goal...)
A happy and fun work environment will encourage more people to join our merry band.
Being respectful of others is key to making everyone feel welcome. Coincidentally, this will probably encourage more people to contribute (Hmm...I sense a trend).

Make meetings accessible and transparent to all

Proposed by: Joel, Robinson
Get as many past meetings as possible in new wiki format, including agendas + minutes
Make sure that people can access the meeting (via phone, Skype, computer, IRC, etc...)

How to Add/Remove/Change Goals

Go to a QA Meeting and propose some changes!
