Hi
For those who have been wanting to improve the quality of releases, get
effective dialogue and responses in bugzilla and work on reducing the
chances for regressions in Fedora updates, here is a good opportunity to
get involved.

There are some low hanging fruits that the community can potentially
tackle in a better way. Every new update is first pushed into
updates-testing repository to enable the community to test and check for
regressions and provide feedback in the fedora-test list and the
relevant bugzilla reports. The amount of feedback at times have been
very low and thats usually ok for the large majority of updates but some
of the them are heavy impact ones like the Kernel or Xorg updates and do
require community testing. Internal testing does not always reveal
regressions in specific chipsets, architecture and hardware . If you
have a spare test machine lying around that you could use and you would
like to tinker and get involved in Fedora, updates-testing and the
Fedora development tree are for you.
General guidelines and instructions are available at :
