Re: [xwiki-devs] [xwiki-users] Hello to the XWiki community

Hi Silvia, Good to have you on board. Just for the record, Silvia is an employee of XWiki Lasi (romanian branch of XWiki SAS, see http://xwiki.com and http://massol.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/XWikiSASAndOpenSource for those who want to know the relationship between XWiki SAS and the XWiki open source project).

From the open source point of view, Silvia is not a committer, she's just a contributor like anyone can be. Silvia this means that for anything important you'd like to change, you'll need to propose it here on this mailing list for agreement. Obviously there's no need to propose anything for creating JIRA issues about bugs found... ;) However if you want to reorganize xwiki.org for example and make some substantial changes you'll need to make a proposal here first and get some agreement first since this is how the XWiki open source project works. Guys let's not completely rely on Silvia though! It's everyone's job to help by improving the doc on xwiki.org and by discovering/fixing bugs. Silvia is a bonus. Thanks and again, welcome on board! -Vincent On Aug 20, 2009, at 10:34 AM, Silvia Rusu wrote: > Hi, > > I am Silvia Rusu (http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/SilviaRusu > ) > and I have joined the XWiki Iasi team this week as a tester and > documentation writer. > > As a tester my role will be to uncover any issues and inconsistencies > that might affect the products you love developing/using. > I will also be talking to our project managers, product manager and > mailing list users in order to find out more about our customers > expectations and needs.
