Johan, Stefan and I were talking on IRC about getting more people (devs and users) to run trunk / prereleases, in order to find more bugs before .0's release.
One of the ideas that came up was to establish a dedicated mailing list for beta / pre-release feedback. The thinking is that having a channel for advanced users to discuss 1.10-dev issues in — without noise from support requests or design discussions — might encourage more such discussion to happen. Thoughts?
