-tap tap- Come in Alpha Team?

In our quest to get Capsuleer 2.1 out of the docking bay, we have come to a point where we need some help.
Alpha testing…
The single largest new feature in 2.1 is the Items Database. Its huge. From both a code standpoint and a data standpoint. There are over 10,000 items in EVE.
So where do you, our user base, come in?
We are looking for a few good pilots to help us alpha test this new area. And by few I am thinking about 5 new testers. Your mission (should you choose to accept it) will be to work your way through a section of the Item Database and compare it with the information available in-game.
Not only are we adding an Item Database to Capsuleer in 2.1, but we’re working to make it the most complete and most accurate one available outside of the game.
So the questions you should be asking when reviewing: Are the right attributes displayed, are they the correct values, do they have the same formatting?
Its a big job. But we know with the help of our amazing community we’ll be able to check every item.
If your up for this challenge (and it is a challenge) then give us a shout at pyjamasam@vanguardfrontiers.com and use the subject line:
Capsuleer Alpha Testing
(If you don’t use that subject line my email filter won’t pick it up and your message might get lost to the email daemons)
We are looking for people who have the following hardware (all running OS 3.x):
- iPhone 2.5g
- iPhone 3g
- iPod Touch 2g
Basically a good cross section of the hardware we try to support.
Just because you don’t have some of the hardware listed above doesn’t mean you won’t get selected. We’ll give higher priority to people who have those devices (and if you have multiple devices that bumps your chances even higher).
Due to the volume of people applying we are going to randomly select the alpha testers from the pool that best meet our criteria.
And if you haven’t decided if you want to help yet, let me add one more bit of enticement (we’re not pretending that all this hard work doesn’t deserve a reward).
You’ll be automatically included in the beta test program for 2.1 which will be launching in a bit.
