Sometimes the people most stressed by computers are the ones who find the bugs for us :-(

We would like to have a list of volunteers who would not be too thrown by the odd crash, who could download a new version of Silas and test it, perhaps in more than one version of Word, even in systems set for different languages, such as Swedish, Japanese, French or Spanish.

And we'd love to have someone test it in Word 2007.

I would like to have two lists:

Alpha testers

the most adventurous, who can be the first guinea pigs

Beta testers

those who would rather have others find the most glaring errors first

If you would like to help

If you would like to join either list (or both), pls send an email back to me at

mailto:Jim.Henderson44@gmail.com

stating your intention.

I'll compile the list and share it with Kim, but no further.

If you wish, you can ask us to send notifications of new versions to test with your address in the BCC field, so the other recipients of the message won't see your email address.

So an easy way for you to respond would be to copy the next few lines to the clip board, click on my email address above, and paste into the message, then fill in the blanks and send:

Alpha test list: yes/no

Beta test list: yes/no

Use BCC field: yes/no

Thanks for considering this request,

Jim
