Making beta-testing easier

[Marielle Lange]

Dear all,

For the many hobbyists who, like me, have no easy access to multiple  
computers, it is important to rely on the community for beta- 
testing... and the easier you make it for others to provide you  
informative feedback, the more chance you have to receive it.

In this context, know that the "metadata creator" file can now also  
be used to help with testing. I posted a revised version which let  
you take a snapshot of the second most active stack (the one most  
active after the "metadata generator" stack). It can be used to take  
a snapshot to send by email to the author of a stack. (It can, of  
course, for its primary purpose: to let you advertise your stack on  
the gallery).

Alternatively, you can use happy snap, by sweat technologies (<http:// 
www.sweattechnologies.com/rev/>)... It's a more elaborate stack which  
lets you take screen captures for all cards in a stack and export  
them to a folder of your choice. I used it to rapidly produce the  
images used in the slideshow at: <http://revolution.lexicall.org/ 
tutorials/what_is_revolution/> (well with another proprietary  
application to do the images in a folder > slideshow conversion).

Cheers,
Marielle
