I understand about the issues of setting up a formal QA environment. I guess I've been more concerned/confused about the separation of "duties". As in, if I'm writing a patch I do a certain type of testing. Then if I'm a tester of someone else's code, I do other types of testing. In my experience, a code reviewer only looked at and commented on code but doesn't do actual running of or testing of the code. Hence, my confusion here but I think I'm coming to understand the organization here.
Thanks for the welcome. 900degrees was giving me a ton of help last month and I made a lot of progress getting started. Then real life intruded again. I will get back on track. I will! Thanks for the IRC reference. Hadn't seen that yet, will check it out.
