I was wondering what interrest (if any) there is in starting up a group of
testers for SDL programs for varying OSes. I know I’d be interrested as
all I have to test in is Linux and BeOS- so I can’t check to make sure my
other OS specific items work on my machine. (I’d be willing to test
Win/MacOS/etc. developer’s items on my system as well).

This may have been addressed before, if so, forgive me.
I’m knew to SDL, so I dunno if this has been addressed before, but it
sounds very, very sensible.
Most programmers have a main OS they work with (and maybe one or two
minor OSes). Thus they normally will only test on thoses, simply for
a lack of test machines and/or knowledge…

I think that’s one good idea, you can count me in if you have something
to test (that’s of interest to me)

Well… okay, I was thinking some sort of an automated list where persons
could post links to their software, and allow others to try them out on
varying platforms, and then give indications on the software’s performance
(or lack thereof) in an indexable forum would be nice… (any other
suggestions?)
I think I’ll try to whip up an example of what I mean over the next few
days, and announce it (either on this list, or, if I get protests, to
those who tell me they’d be interrested in it).On Wed, 28 Jun 2000, Max Horn wrote:

If anyone who would be willing to test some code on BeOS and MacOS
i would be greatful if they would test our code, they can grab it from the
cvs at prboom.sourceforge.net its not quite ready for a release yet but id like
it to work on more platforms when we do release it.

I use MacOS, FreeBSD and BeOS (ppc)… I’m avaliable for testing too!
