It is certainly what I would do. Reflectors are cheap and easy to set
up. If one doesn't want to spend any effort we could certainly create
another on google-groups or yahoo-groups.
The use of
the test branch by people running contests and hunting vital DX or
worse
yet, doing ARES work just sent shivers down my spine.
Yeah, that is pretty silly. OTOH, the only way you can completely stop
that is to carefully control who is in the alpha test group. It should
probably be people who have a methodical approach to using the
software and can track how they get to a particular error. I would
like to be in the alpha test group but I must admit that I do not do a
very good job of hammering on the code since almost all my operating
is using digital modes. After a year of having my F5K this past two
weeks were the first time I actually tried out the NF and ANF.
Regardless, I tend to do regression testing as a byproduct of my use.
I have my own unofficial tests for basic functionality that tend to be
very consistent.
It is time for a
fork in the road. One for those who like to tinker and/or have
specific
tasks to accomplish for the overall program and another (this one
here) for
those who like to just use and get help in set up without any
barriers to
moving back and forth other than the (ENFORCED) etiquette of what
may be
discussed and where.
Seems more than reasonable to me.
