Beta here we come!

We had a very exciting Friday when the latest release was put into an accessible environment and the new target to get the same release into a beta site is Monday or possibly Tuesday.

I had a play around with it and did some testing including on a friend's Windows 8 machine and I even resorted to using IE8.  It was a touch screen device so was an interesting experience as I tried a few things.  At this stage there is still a lot more testing to be done across browsers.  The intention is to do this via SauceLabs as well as 'real life' testing on different browser and machine combinations.  It's good that we are hoarders and can test on an XP machine, Windows 7, Chromebook, Mac and Android devices :)

Mark Toohey has also helped out a lot by putting together a draft Terms of Use for the site.  This is such a relief as I was struggling hard with the cobbling together of the Terms based on a 'template' service (LawLive?) and looking at other Terms from similar services.
