That said, I'm not really sure how we can make better use of the beta period. One obvious improvement would be making the beta announcements more visible: the obscurity of the beta process on www.postgresql.org for 7.4 was pretty ridiculous. Does anyone else have a suggestion on what we can do to produce a more reliable .0 release in less time?
Here are a couple of ideas:
0. As you say, make it known to the public. Have people test their in-development applications using a beta.
1. Start platform testing on day 1 of beta. Last minute fixes for AIX or UnixWare are really becoming old jokes.
I try to test stuff fairly frequently, and this time I didn't know when, exactly, SCO would make the release of the updated compiler.
