The registration is only for the first beta version. The idea is that people write about his opinion befor the first version is released. And important is also to find mistakes or ideas for the future. I hope that 30% from the group of beta testers write about impressions, ideas and mistake. So far many people make this and I am very happy. With other word, I think the most people send me a beta test formular but have no interest to write in my forum. I send all persons the information via eMail if I have this formular and all in annonym (mails with blind copys). Best Frank PS: Jonas you can see the idea is good. Many many super messages about this beta test and also programmer Martin Blume have fun and thinking the same.
