THE TEST TEAM

To make sure that users of a GNU.FREE release get the best possible experience we are building a team of testers. It's helpful to have non-developers do the testing as they are more likely to spot problems - especially the obvious ones that somehow us coders ignore!

So if you're relatively confident with a platform then take the challenge, test the latest GNU.FREE release candidate. All we ask is that if you download a Release Candidate you MUST file a report - even if it is to say that you tested GNU.FREE on platform xyz and everything was ok.

What to do

Download the latest release candidate, install it, play around with all the software and try to break it. When you're done file your report to test@free-project.org remembering to tell us what platform you used and what version of the Java Virtual Machine you ran GNU.FREE on.

Note that the full documentation package won't be included with these packages, only the README and INSTALL files, so you made need to refer back to this site for more information.
