Beta should be public.

I also wish that AW pull their finger out.

Well, that would be rather dumb. Totally ruins the point of a beta.

no, not really, the only reason companies have beta testing, is so that
there users dont get annoyed with all the bugs. so if beta is public, and
people choose to upgrade to beta, then they cant expect bugs, and know that
they will prob soon be fixed

Were you witness to the AW 3.0 public beta? It was a complete disaster...

Sep 19, 2002, 11:06pm

You know as well as I do that most people would complain anyway.

Yes as mentioned a bit ago, i remember 3.0 beta, it was a complete disaster
that is why beta is closed and not everyone is allowed in, due to that
factor.

I wasn't on much then, and I don't remember much of the beta program
(didn't sign up myself). But I think it was perhaps too unorganized. If one
did an effort to get a good, open beta program running, I'm sure it would
be much more helpfull.

I for 1 would like to see a system where all AW programmers can participate in the BETA program automatically so they can develop bots etc. A programmer is much more capable of identifying bugs than someone who is not.

There are a couple of us on the beta who can program. There are reasons why there
aren't more, at least from what I fathom.

Cause AWC wants to know if even fools can operate the browser?

No, that is not the case. Programmers tend to spout of what *they* think should be
done and added. When you're beta testing this get's rather annoying because they're
looking at styling and other such things rather than the actual problematic bugs.
This is basically what eep did (looked at styling instead of the actual problems).
Hey; BinaryBud, Andras, Xelag, myself (probably missed a couple more) are all
programmers, what more do you need? ;) Or is it an attempt to automagically place
yourself on the beta? :P

Who me? :(

Fool (noun):

1. A person who lacks good judgment
2. A person who is gullible and easy to take advantage of
3. A professional clown employed to entertain a king or nobleman in the middle ages

Luckily, we have a wonderful specimen of the class right here that shows us that yes, fools can operate the browser.
