Invites went out to 1,000 Pre-Beta testers yesterday and already almost 500 people have registered their testing account at our new beta testing website.

The website is designed specifically to manage large scale beta tests and the reports from testers so far have been very positive...
"Definitely A NEW ERA for testing/reporting system. Very nicely done!"
Thanks for the kind words Richard!
Testers are presented with a set of tasks to go through various aspects of the software and results coming in are encouraging with over 90% of people attempting to load the base content set having success.

Of course there are also a bunch of known problems and the odd weird things as well ..

There's plenty of discussion on the testing forums and over 100 bugs entered on day 1.
We're working on performance and stability issues and hope to get some graphical shots on in the coming weeks.
