Social media is not the right place to communicate every single
change. We have seen in the past how this can create a lot of
negative and even trollish feedback that only distracts the
contributors.<br>

I would think this problem would be solved by making sure to keep
the team reports up to date and telling testers to keep a track on
those, or alternatively, the meeting minutes. This is something we
have worked on this cycle. If you have other ideas how to
communicate changes that are landing in the development release to
testers, please share them with us.<div><br>

Then our social mediums can point to a central information hotspot. </div>

We are doing this on the installer slideshow. Furthermore, we have
discussed changing the browser frontpage before but it implies
technical (and potentially other) issues we didn't want to face
then.<br>

<br></div></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">I believe all of the comments i'm making are related to the question Elfy proposed, about how to increase reports on the testing cases. My intention is not to derail the conversation to other futile discussions about personal preferences (mine or otherwise).<br>
