Looking for beta-testers
Our project is having its first usable results, and now we need someone with patience and curiosity to try it out and do report bug in our issue tracker system.
if you want to try out a new system, hack it a bit and contribute to a better quality of our future releases, please join us.
* Estimated effort: 1 or 2 hours every weekend. for now, there are a lot of known bugs so you should be able to report a lot of bugs in few minutes. In the next few weeks I suppose we will start to fix the most obvious mistakes, then you will need a bit more time.. but never more than 1 or two hours a week for the next 6 months.. (after that we plan to have a release, and then the customers will test it for us :)
Skills Needed: Quality Assurance
