I admit I'm not very good in setting timelines for this kind of project.
I could imagine you get 2-3 autopkgtests ready per week.  Your work
consists of small self-contained tasks - its hard to wrap these into a
timeline.  May be Liubov can give a hint how she did this?

I totally agree with Andreas: with some packages, it might take a week or more to finish writing tests. I had a rough list of packages I wanted to work with, but after a month it started to inflate with other TODOs more relevant at that time :-) I think it depends on how one used to manage their time, whether they need to see a whole picture from the beginning or it is appropriate for them to figure out tasks as they go along.

If you like to have a list of tasks/packages to choose from, let us know. I have a couple of candidates in my mind, and I am in no doubt that Andreas has a lot of them :-)

Yes, it would be very interesting to have a list and know what needs to be done. Is there somewhere that you keep a Backlog/TODO items list?
Share definitely :)

P.S. I am very happy to know that my vagrant configs were useful for you!

Definitely! I really like Vagrant and especially for such occasions I think it's a great tool as it prevents
you from ruining your own system!

Best :)

All the best,
Liuba
