Subject: AMIS beta testers needed

Hi everyone,

AMIS 3 is rapidly approaching stable Release Candidate stage, just now  
reaching its third beta release. The DAISY Consortium is looking for  
testers to help find the last few bugs. In particular we encourage  
organizations that plan to recommend AMIS 3 to their users to  
participate in the beta testing.

Instructions for getting started as a beta tester are here:
http://daisy-trac.cvsdude.com/amis/wiki/BetaTesting

This whole announcement is reiterated in the latest DAISY Planet:
http://www.daisy.org/news/news_detail.shtml?NewsId=431

So, if you can get involved, it would really help AMIS!  Just drop me  
a note off-list.

Thanks

Marisa DeMeglio
