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.
