Oh... one more question I notice that I failed to answer, sorry Cin :( You asked about a way to compensate testers for their time. See what I mean about not yet being very far down the road on getting this all worked out here? ;) That discussion had not yet come up. I think... and this is just me very literally thinking out of the seat of my pants here, that I would personally, gladly consent that if anyone testing my work wished to keep a copy for themselves, they would be welcome to do so, as payment. However... alot about this idea is about FREEDOM and CONSENT... so if one sent in something and said, "but I would prefer you not keep it after you are done, but could it please be tested anyway..." I know that I personally would delete the product from my own hard drive honorably, and it would never once interfere with my ability to make a value judgement on quality :)
