[Libreoffice-qa] Revisiting BH (Bughunt) session organization

[MiguelAngelLO]

Hi Sophie, Cor, QA,

maybe defining a target for the sessions could help.

On one side, I think people are not waiting for a session to report the 
issues they find, in fact there are a lot of reports about 5.1.

On the other there is not a definite objective for the sessions.

IMHO sessions could be to analyze specifically the Release Notes.

I had done with the two first for 5.1, on the last holidays, now pending 
to report on the QA ML.

Here my draft of what I did:

*********************************************************************

*********************************************************************

Or perhaps something like this could be standardized in Moztrap, so we 
can have a better organize record.

The second fact is that devs if they like :), can follow the 
verification of their work, having a feedback about, from people who are 
not necessarily being devs, but usually with a certain level of 
acknowledgment on the use of LibreOffice.

Regards.
Miguel Ángel.
