Here is an update on the status of vB3 development.
Private Beta Test
A private beta test for vB3 began on February 26, 2003. In all we received 650 applications, out of which 20 members were chosen to participate in this beta test. The beta-testers represent a good cross section of high-traffic sites, low-traffic sites, sites with a diverse range of users, a diverse range of server configuration, etc. The sites chosen were done so based on the previously determined criteria of the Development Team and no one was chosen for personal decisions. In addition, the beta testers are operationg under strict conditions of use, one of which is that they are not allowed to modify any of the PHP files in any way (ie: no hacking).
Currently this program is providing excellent feedback that is allowing us to identify and resolve bugs in the software.
