* As I've said in other posts, what we're really looking for isn't so much people to download these releases as people to use these releases. That means they need to at least feel comfortable submitting bug reports and preferably also feel comfortable creating context diffs and stuff like that. We want to create an environment that eases people like me into this process. We're starting to go in that direction with the Developer's Guide, but I want to keep focused on it.

Maybe in addition to a developer's guide we need a tester's guide, focusing on how to test new releases and report bugs.
