TinySBS is not a separate branch.

Cheers. yeah, i agree. but if the devs want help testing, they could throw the dummies like me a bone and update the wiki as an example of a means by which i can help me to help myself, and in turn them. as you note, there will be natural resistence to something even more "beta-ish" then usual.
