Do you think it would be beneficial to point at XAMPP? There are people
who might be willing to help test but don't have the slightest clue how
to set up a server locally. It might be worthwhile to have a document
explaining how to set up a local staging install of WP.
Heck, this should be part of the regular documentation, really.
My only question is whether this is the barrier to entry: "If you can't
set up your own local Apache, thanks, but we're looking for someone more
qualified." Personally, I think that bug reporting from tyros is a good
thing, since only having developers/insiders looking at things tends to
leave holes. If the barrier to entry is the ability to follow the XAMPP
installation instructions, we might get more reports from a novice user
perspective - a good thing.
And how did I get on the host list? Not a problem, but someone might
have told me if I have such obligations. Are you guys going to code and
manage incoming folks? At what time is this business going to start? I
will likely be online Saturday AM EST.
