Personally I think we need to figure out a way to make NetCAT a more fluid, open and ongoing thing, or drop it. Now we've moved to voted betas, rather than just advertising them, maybe we can encourage anyone testing them to pick a NetCAT test of interest to try, and report issues?
In my opinion loyal long-term contributors are rare and most people in open source world prefer to help within a limited period of time between two projects/jobs/marriages and then go their own way again. From that point of view it makes more sense to concentrate the testing effort around LTS version with known NetCAT start/end dates, form a dedicated team of volunteers with free capacity, certify the whole product and release it. Thanks to that we can advertise LTS as something extra given the focused NetCAT community testing.
If we would ask the same contributors to test the same stuff every 3 months and make it an ongoing process, I think the outcome would be lower.
I admit I may be mistaken though so I would love to hear opinions from other NetCAT subscribers in this mailing list. Let's make this discussion objective so everyone please share your thoughts! :)
