As one that participating in the beta testing of the Controller (named JHB at the time), I didn't realize that it was a secret. So if this really was the case, I think you probably could have made that a bit more clear at the start of the beta testing. The same would also apply if you wanted us to avoid discussion regarding guessing what the next product based on the JHB would be. I have a hard time seeing that anyone that is offered to participate in beta testing wouldn't accept to keep the secret, if requested to. As the initial poster, I have to say that I'm also a bit fascinating about the way the beta testing was performed. The thing that really amazed me was the number of beta testers you allowed. Previously I thought beta testing on new products was often performed by a few selected people, but this was obviously not the case regarding the Controller where quite a lot of people was involved. As a plugin developer I also have to say that if I hadn't been part of the beta testing I don't think any of my plugins would support the Controller today, the beta testing really raised my personal interest in the Controller with the result that several of my plugins supports it today. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44061 _______________________________________________ jive mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/jive
