Dear Beta testers,

Thank you for expressing interest to become a EwE6 beta-tester! Any of your input will greatly improve the reliability, stability and usability of EwE6. As beta testers, you are assumed to be a knowledgeable user to test scientific correctness. Occasionally, you will be asked on voluntary basis to testing parts of the application that you are familiar with. Once this version is confirmed stable from our beta testers such as yourself, we will release the next version of EwE. We will also create an automatic testing tool to ensure inputs and outputs you have tested are identical throughout EwE's development. Your involvement will be invaluable.

Current test version: You will have access to all daily version of EwE. We ask for you to test specific versions of EwE, but occasionally will be asked to download the latest daily build version to test the bug. Currently, please test this version: ?ftp://ftp.fisheries.ubc.ca/ecopath/webfiles/ewe6/DailyBuilds/EwE6.0.6.0422_setup.exe

Update log: You also have access to view our update logs where you can track and view changes we have done to different versions in EwE6. ?http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=dc73f52x_158hffk58gq&hl=en

Log bugs: To log any bugs, please enter them in to Mantis. If you don't have access, please contact me ASAP. When submitting a report that is can be replicated only on your database, please zip up and email me: database and bug ID found in the bug tracker URL. Otherwise, simply submit the report into Trac: ?https://sources.ecopath.org:8443/trac/Ecopath/report

Thank you very much for your time and will look forward to hearing your feed back.

Cheers, Sherman
