Well, we need a concrete list of things to beta test if we want people to do this in any organized fashion. It's easy enough for us to say "we need beta testers"; but without telling our community *what* to test, people just download, compile, do a select * from table, and say "it works". Once we have a list, we can launch a simple app/wiki page where people can report results of their tests. Without all that, the task is too amorphous for us to expect much from the community-at-large. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. www.pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
