[Koha-devel] Proposal for a change in guidelines for the sign-off process in the Koha-community

[Brendan Gallagher]

One Additional note -

I would continue to encourage all those that sign-off on bugs to really add
a lot of notes to their sign-offs.  The more information on places that you
may have been stuck or parts you were not 100% sure on - really really help
the QA and RM teams.  That is totally one thing that I need to get better
at during my sign-offs and testing periods.

Thanks,
Brendan
