Isn't that the Tester role? I read "Tester" as just a title (i.e. standard use-case based design) to describe what anyone can currently do: go in and vote on an app.

Great news!
But am I to understand that once the tests are complete, it will be promoted? Or will there still be the 10 quarantine?

I'd add that when an application is demoted an email should also be sent directly to the maintainer.
Even just an automated email, saying your application has been demoted please check the testing squad mailing list for details.

But did I understand correctly from one of your previous posts that in case of a critical update, the Admin could be contacted for a speedy release? As an (extreme) example:
With the new firmware for the N900 the app X can cause the device to reboot if pressing the button Y when the setting Z is more than XY. This update fixes it by not allowing it to be more than XY. Please promote this to Extras ASAP as there are many users of this app.

No no-- not a registered list of users, but a mailing list for testing. Sorry.

Hi,
I really do like this suggestions! One thing seems to be important for me:
if a package is promoted the should have to be a list of changes. Is there already a possibility in the publishing interface to put a change log or at least a link to the change log location inside of it?
It would really improve the efficiency of tests if the tester knows where are new features (I know that's not all...).
3 or 5 a day sounds very much. Maybe we should classify the apps. A complex application should get 3 complex points a simple new desktop theme maybe only 1 complex point. Than it would be easy to say lets test apps with in sum 5 complex points. What do you think?
This answer also goes out to the community mailing list.
Ciao Uwe

).* Organized testing:
- In each week one of the testing squad members is responsible for the elaboration of a small list of apps that should be tested. We'll start with a 5 a day (or 3 a day) approach in the beginning. Of course the testers are free to test other apps or do all the testing in just one day. The objective is have the apps tested by the end of the week.
