Hi Ludo<br>
<br>
I have downloaded the beta [0] and will be testing by basically
using it day to day with all my add-ons etc i.e. [3]<br>
<br>
I have a few questions:<br>
<br>
is there a dedicated forum area for the beta?<br>
</div>
</blockquote>
Nope - I don't use our support forums so much but maybe it's
possible to do so, asking roland.<br>
<blockquote cite="mid:536F621C.6020802@freeola.net" type="cite">

is there somewhere we can keep track of which add-ons have
already been reported as incompatible with the beta? in fact, in
general it would be great to have somewhere with a table of
which add-ons are compatible with which version of TB (I'm
currently using release, earlybird and daily versions in
tandem), and if the compatibility reporter could feed into that
in some way that would be great.<br>

Yes that's a great idea Let's use :
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://etherpad.mozilla.org/thunderbird-beta3031">https://etherpad.mozilla.org/thunderbird-beta3031</a> - Also if you find
something that doesn't work with the beta try to contact the author
of the piece of software that doesn't work , so they can fix it in
time for the release.<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix"> I have quite a few systems I can
test on here: Windows XP , Windows 7 64bit , LUbuntu (basically
Ubuntu)<br>

We lack usage on Windows because it's the most used platform - we
should concentrate on it if we can.<br>

I can also stick on another linux system if you guys are short
of someone to test something, e.g. a Debian based Linux<br>
<br>

That would be nice when we do the formal testing when we do beta2 -
formal testing needs clean and fresh machines.<br>

now, I would like to learn about the moztrap testing [1] as I
have never used it before<br>

It's quite easy - you login there, find a test , read it - do it ,a
dn report, Then the software let's us know what's been tested, how
green the build is ...<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix"> also I have never heard of
eventbrite, but if it is at a handy time for me I wouldn't mind
having a go <span class="moz-smiley-s1"><span> :-) </span></span><br>
<br>
In general I can't dedicate days at a time to this, but anyway
I'd like to be kept in the loop and offer any extra testing when
I have time<br>
</div>

Eventbrite is juts an easy way to get people to say I want to
participate and track who want's to. in the past I did that manually
this time I want to automate a bit.<br>
