I see so many projects and softwares released on the internet that has a 0.x version and they never reaches 1.0. Shouldn't a first release be 1.0 (or 1.0b at least)? Example, the VLC project dated 1996-2008 now at version 0.8.6? ...
I run a game and the running is done by hand, I have a few scripts that help me but essentially it's me doing the work.

How can you beta test an iPhone app?

Update: Also, see this question on getting your app onto phones without using the App Store. ...
Most sites are either fully released, or in beta. But what happens if you have a large site, and some of the parts are still in Beta, and other parts aren't. How do you effectively communicate this to the customer? ...
I'm going to roll out a private beta soon but never participated myself in something like that. So which points should be included in a beta test agreement between me and the users? Pointing me to an example agreement would be a plus. Edit: It's a B2C application. Not related to security. ...
I'm about to put a beta version of the site I'm working on up on the web. It needs to have a beta code to restrict access. The site is written in django. I don't want to change the fundamental Auth system to accommodate a beta code, and I don't care particularly that the security of the beta code is iron-clad, just that it's a significa...

Hello As a Micro ISV I am coming to the stage in the development of a new desktop software application where beta testing it with an external group of users would be great. I would prefer private invite only beta testing as opposed to public free for all beta testing. Are there websites/organisations, both free or paid, where I can 'r...
I'm struggling to get around the 404 errors from asp.net mvc beta when deploying on IIS 6. I had this working in one of the previews by mapping .mvc in IIS but this no longer works. I've read Omar's post and several others on the web and tried their solutions but no luck so far. The home page opens without a problem on IIS 6 but others ...

Those of us with iPhone apps (released or unreleased) are able to send out limited beta builds using ad-hoc distribution. While the Apple docs for this have a few holes in them, there are a number of blogs, postings and other articles out there on "the net" that fill the gaps. However, one thing I haven't seen anyone mention, and I was ...

I am currently working on a beta strategy for my mISV. I know Joel wrote that you need about 100 beta testers for a one person shop, and 100 per employee in the general sense. Is that number reasonably accurate in your experience? That number seems high to me based on previous experience. In our last beta at my day job, we had about 75...
Duplicate: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/344932/why-is-stack-overflow-still-in-public-beta Why do websites like Gmail or Stack Overflow say that they are beta? If they are 'in use' by the general public, why do they claim to be in "beta" or "public beta"? ...
If only email is available then the users don't seem to engage. A feedback box within the app feels like a step in the right direction, but doesn't offer any ability to build community. Uservoice and tenderapp both look like they could work well, and GetSatisfaction seems like a better option once your app is in past the beta stage. S...
