Me again I think it would be great if we could get some more testers to build our development version... well, I guess you never can have enough of them, but during the last few versions we had some relatively stupid bugs that we should have been able to catch with a bit more testing... (e.g. me forgetting to package the windows sources).
I was wondering if there would be a better way for us to provide help for testers. I was thinking of advertising a bit more on the web page and ICS perhaps have better instruction on how to build xboard/winboard online... perhaps we should also make more use of our bugtracker (create items for bugs that are mentioned on this list for example). A wiki might also be something useful... I could set one up on my domain if people are interested (something like xboardwiki.nubati.net for example) Perhaps the developer versions should output a text message on the terminal (xboard) saying that something like: "This is a test release version xyz of xboard. It might not run stable, if you have any problems or find a bug, please report it <email list> or at the bugtracker <link>. If you are looking for a stable version of xboard, please use version <ABC>. you can get the latest stable version <here>." So that it is easier for us to release buggy test-releases and don't have to worry that they get distributed wildly and taken for the real thing... ARUN
