IT's nice, but will you run profiling tools ? It's too boring to work via "broken phone line" that will be eventually when some non-native english language speaker like me for example tried to describe what to run on different host... Testers are very handy on beta stage, less but still valuable on alpha stage but on development stage....

Ok, to me it sounds like it might be a pain if I understand you correctly. So for me probably not worth it then. I don't have any experience with software development.


I guess good luck guys!

Not so much as pain, as a "commitment".  ;)
It's kinda the trade-off to being "part" of the development effort and adds a new dimension to this hobby if one wants to learn and be involved at a deeper level.
Just depends upon what you're looking to make of this hobby, but the key is keeping it fun.

If it feels like work, creates it's own stress, & has lost the fun factor....it's not really a hobby any more, is it  ;).
re: software development, the Devs will do the heavy lifting, don't worry.  :)  They might just need some additional help, validation, or a 2nd set of eyes and testing sometimes.  The gents here will help you if you're willing to also invest some effort into improving your knowledge & skills on your own as time goes on.

Jason00:
I guess depending on what was involved, next month I could probably help you guys out. As I'm in my last quarter in college for Computer and Electronics Engineering Technologies.


Also I need to finish finding a stable OC on my computer.
