+Proposed announcement for -testers mailing list:
+
+ The Apache Group would like to expand the audience that is available
+ for testing during the development cycles. In particular, the stable
+ release (1.2 currently) receives less testing by the developers
+ because the developers are generally running the development release
+ (1.3 currently). To aid this we have created two mailing lists:
+ stable-testers and current-testers.
+
+ Volunteers willing to test drive versions of the stable branch of
+ the Apache HTTP Server should send a message to majordomo@apache.org
+ containing the words:
+
+ subscribe stable-testers
+
+ Volunteers willing to test drive versions of the current development
+ branch of the Apache HTTP Server should send a message to
+ majordomo@apache.org containing the words:
+
+ subscribe current-testers
+
+ These forums will be predominantly one-way: when the Apache Group has
+ a new release ready, they will let the appropriate list know about it
+ first, and then it is *expected* that people will pull it down from
+ the Apache web site and give it a spin. If you see a problem, and
+ have done your due diligence to make sure it isn't a configuration
+ error, and it's definitely a difference in behavior from the last
+ public release in the series, then please post here about it.
+
+ Thanks!
+
+ Dean intends to post this on friday, around noon PST.
