Discussion: Team and Contributor Badges
Discussion starts here in Slack.
- Reference: FSE Outreach Program badges proposal
- Team discussed and agreed to use Core Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. Team’s model for awarding Test Contributor badge: 1 contribution = a badge
- What is a test contribution?
- @lucatume suggested to first define what is not a test contribution?
- Do Release Party and Contributor Days participation count?
- @hellofromtonya noted:
Broadly testing entire release is hard to capture the feedback. Right? But testing something that has a ticket or Call for Test (CfT) is trackable for not only testers but the Core folks who are working on that thing under test. Sharing how you tested (the test environment, theme, plugins, etc.), steps you did, results, and maybe even a screenshare …. this type of info is valuable.
Commenting: “It works” is not as valuable as a feedback.
Action: @hellofromtonya will start a proposal for discussion:
laying out some guidelines for how testing is captured, what testing is not, and then that will guide everyone to know what a testing contribution is and isn’t.
Update: Autogenerate e2e Tests Initiative
Discussion starts here in Slack.
