The tester program is in trouble and needs your help.

= Becoming a Tester =
Testing helps the application packagers improve the applications that get released. This is very important as the applications grow. Check out the latest apps at:
<nowiki>http://www.amahi.org/apps</nowiki>
We will make announcements about the latest apps added to the app gallery soon.
The only requirement is that you actively participate in the testing, you rate the apps (very important) and send feedback and report bugs at:
http<nowiki>https://bugs.amahi.org/</nowiki>
Thanks go to rampage and the community in the IRC channel for helping organize the apps and contributing to their testing so far, encouraging the implementation of this program! Please review the [[Testing]] page on what to test for with beta releases.
