On Betatesting…

I saw this short post today on a new addition to my blogroll: Hacking for Christ It really sums up the differences between IE and Firefox, and I’m not just saying that because I’ve spend the last few hours tinkering with a lovely webpage to make it friendly to ancient versions of IE.

A contrast in approaches:

The IE team says “If you wish to be a part of making IE better by contributing great bug reports then please email us at IESO@microsoft.com and tell us a little about yourself including why you’d be a great beta tester.”

The Mozilla team says “Our community is made up of a few different types of people… which ones do you want to be a part of? … Anyone can help us test!”

(Emphasis mine.)
