In order to capture feedback on SlideWiki, we have created a separate JIRA project SlideWiki Acceptance and Quality SWAQ. This is open to all SWIK users. Members of the public (SlideWiki users) can also create issues within the SWAQ project directly using 2 methods. 

Instructions to SlideWiki users for providing feedback

Want to tell us something about SlideWiki? We really welcome any suggestions or ideas your have! And if you discover a problem we are keen to fix it as soon as possible.

There are two ways you can send us feedback.

Method 1: Use the feedback Button

On each SlideWiki page you will see a Feedback button on the right-hand side. Simply click the button and complete the form.


We ask you to provide a short summary and a description. Use the Attach file option if you are able to take a screenshot. If you provide us with your name and email address then we can keep you up to date with developments on SlideWiki and contact you if we need further information relating to your feedback.

Method 2: Email your feedback to jira@slidewiki.atlassian.net

If you have general feedback about SlideWiki or are unable to access the feedback button then you can email us at jira@slidewiki.atlassian.net. Please tell us what you are trying to do on SlideWiki and if possible provide the URL and attach a screenshot.

Instructions to SlideWiki developers for capturing bugs

If you encounter a bug or issue with SlideWiki then please use the JIRA Capture tool. If you do not have this installed go to the Capture menu in JIRA. 

If a bug/issue is related to an existing task in SWIK then select "Attach to existing issue" and enter issue key.

All other bugs should be entered into the SWAQ project. 

Process for reviewing feedback in SWAQ

An issue created by a users is added to SWAQ as an open task and displayed in the "Reported" column of the Testing & Feedback board.  

A member of the SlideWiki development team then needs to evaluate the issue. This should be undertaken by someone who has not been directly involved with developing the feature. At the start of the evaluation the task should be allocated to the JIRA user and its status changed to in-progress.

The evaluation should first decide if the issue is reporting a bug (Bug), suggestions for improving an existing feature or user story (Improvement), a new user story (User story) or general feedback (Feedback) and alter the Issue Type appropriately. Use JIRA Capture to gather screenshots and notes on the issue. If the issue is a Bug or then the evaluator should attempt to reproduce the issue. Add additional comments to the issue if required and particularly if you were unable to reproduce the bug. Add labels and components to the issue as appropriate (the component list matched the SWIK project.

Once a the evaluation is complete, it should be either:

If the issues are moved to the appropriate columns using the board, then the workflow will be automatically updated.
