Checklist for Launching public beta

Question

I am developing a web app that is about to be opened for public beta. Does anyone know of or has prepared a checklist of the various steps that one needs to take to ensure a smooth beta implementation?

The web app is coded using Java, MySQL on the server side and HTML, Javascript on the client side with a little Flash in one or two screens.

I know this question is very non-specific, but I am looking for best practices/guidelines here.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

some ideas..

1) An integrated feedback system might be a good idea for users to get back to you.

2) A notice system within the site might be good to give users notice of ongoing updates

3) All logging of errors etc should be switched on, so you can see whats happening.
