Beta testing is releasing almost-finished products to external testers, so they can test the new features and advise on any bugs. This current series is an alpha series. An alpha will usually be tested in-house, but they decided to ask for our input, as they don't have many staff. Many modules are being rewritten. The programming is centrally done in a country called Moldova. Ritlabs is not a big company, but many members of this list believe they have a good product. Several members fo this are IT professionals, others are simply users who try to help a small company that was founded by students over 10 years ago, and now feeds a small number of families. I saw you reported your background in another mail. I myself wrote my first program in 1978 (in Pascal at the time, long before Turbo Pascal came out), hated the concept of something called "MS-Windows" for a while, and am currently pursuing an MSc in Computing for Commerce and Industry. I'm not an IT professional, it's a hobby. Professionally, I'm in international business. I wouldn't want to do my business communications with any other email client than The Bat!. - This serves as an example, other members of this list have other backgrounds. I hope to have shed some light. Please be assured that your input is appreciated. -- Cheers, Thomas.
