People who will help to test images before releasing them
Introduction
This is the idea: Damien, or the person that build the next Pharo dev and web images will send to those Pharo beta testers a private email (or a mail to the mailing list with a subject like FOR-BETA-TESTERS) with the link to download the image. This image will be uploaded in inria website. No ANN and now update is done yet to the pharo website. Then the betatesters use that image as much as possible for a couple of days. Report bugs if necessary and if it is ok, the image is released.
There will not be any time constraints. I say just a few days, to express that we need really test it, at least for a several hours. All of us are doing this as a Hobie. So, not press. The worst thing that can happens is that the rest of the testers test it, (you don't) and the image is released.
Regarding the list of beta testers would be perfect if we cover the combination of OS (Linux, Mac, Windows) and the browser (OB, O2). But we cannot pretend too much. Take into account that not all the people can work with a new image very easily because they have to migrate data ...etc..Others can just download the project from MC and start to work :)
