Aleksey, I think what I'm doing with Dropbox is an adequate way of getting some pre-release testing beyond the testing I do myself. I'm going to see if I get any more feedback then post to ASLO this afternoon. None of my Activities are complex enough to require extensive beta testing. I just figured that if someone besides me looked at it he might hit that one corner case I'd forgotten.
Did you check out the log entry in the Journal? Did it look useful to you?
