Xara is looking for more Beta testers!

Hi Rob,

Is the initial request mainly for the web creation side?
Or is to do with the desktop enhancing old or creating new tools?

Hi Haakoo, Ik think they are looking for:
- And most importantly, a love and desire to help shape our desktop titles into the best possible software!

Not wanting to start a long discussion but the first question is about webdesign experience and no mention of the tools/features.
My question is valid because the testing should be about the whole program,like tools and such and not only about webdesign features.

@Rob,

I'm glad Xara is heading a new way by having users participating in the development of the desktop version.
Hope that some TG regulars are willing to do the same.
Guess the kick against the proverbial bucket paid of.

Hi Haakoo,

We'll be focusing a bit on some web features however it's not strictly limited to those who have web experience. Graphic and desktop publishing users can certainly apply :) We also need to make sure we don't break existing tools as well!

Might be a bit to quick with my responce. Sorry.

@Rob,

Thanks,
Do you have a set time limit for applying?
If so,maybe point it out in your original post.

@Frits,

Geeft niks

We don't have a set time limit currently. 16.2 is planned but the beta test dates for that is still a number of weeks away and even if that is running, we'll always be looking for v17 onwards...

Hi Rob, do beta testers benefit from using Xara ongoing subscription?

[Rob-Xar]

Hi Behzad,

Sorry I don't understand, what do you mean by do they benefit from an ongoing subscription?

Thanks
Rob
