The BOINC development team is recruiting alpha testers for the latest version of the BOINC client software, which should be released soon. It's very important that a small group of knowledgable BOINC users go through ALL the tests first to be sure that it all works as it should, before releasing to the rest of the world.

When I saw the Alpha top testers list for the first time, my initial thought was: "Oh no, not another competition!" ... quickly followed by 'Damn, Alex did better than me!" ;-) ____________ Jord. The BOINC FAQ Service.
