taking volunteers now.

> Only volunteer if (a) you want to see the new features and give us feedback  
on them, (b) you don't mind it crashing occasionally, (c) you don't want to  
use it to do real work, (c) you really are going to send us feedback, you  
aren't just going to look at it and say, "huh, cool," (d) you understand that  
this is a complete rewrite, and as such is currently missing some of the  
features of 1.0, (e) you can accept multi-megabyte NeXTmail, and (f) you don't  
need a lot of hand holding, as we have no time for supporting our early su...  
er, beta-testers.

> What we really need is some regression testers; we need people who'll test  
out 2.0 on pages that worked in 1.0 and make sure it still works.  (We also  
need people to exercise 2.0's new features, but we're more confident in  
those.)

> Sounds like a crappy deal, doesn't it?  What you get out of it is the  
ability to influence the design, as on November 25 we're freezing the  
features, and all we'll be doing is bug testing.
