[olpc-nz] Test request page - how are people finding it?

[Alastair Munro]

I've found the test request page very helpful having links to the downloads if applicable, and also links to the tickets that include all the information about it without the clutter & spam of mailing list. I tend to ignore mailing lists if there is too much traffic which is definitely true of the sugar-devel list.

There is a section at the top of the page which explains the status column

Too much information make it cluttered, and this can be easily obtained from the ticket

Mailing lists are as impersonal as it gets, just a mass of emails sent to any subscribers
