For those unfamiliar with programming, iteration is the testing of a newly implemented feature and change it until it fits. ( That is the iterative process. )

And you are meant to do that a lot. And often. And early. So this is why I am making this blog post. On my own I will never be able to test a web application nor will I be able to tell what is fundamentally wrong with it. ( As I made it )

So here is the reason for this blog post. I am asking those that interested in shaping a website the opportunity to do so.

I am currently working ( still actually ) on a website that is solely focused on roleplaying. You might think that there are forums for that or similar. I myself haven't encountered yet a custom tailored solution to all the inconveniences forum roleplay brings so I decided to make my own. One of my guidelines are: "Always have the users choose what they want from a service"

Check out my last blog post to know exactly what happened with the last iteration.

Here is how it will work:

-You tell me in a comment you are interested in helping out!

-I will add you the general conversation where we will all talk about things and discuss it. ( This is the most important step imo. )

-You will get access to the alpha version which you can test out to your hearts content and keep track of any incoherence you find and report them.

Some tools we will use:

-Trello

-mlpforums' message system

-possibly skype ( if enough testers use it )

Exactly what you would have to do:

Tell me what you currently think of the state of the website. If something sucks and I should remove it or if there is something that is really great and I should focus on it more.

Trello allows us to have a discussion as well as coordinate any testing effort.

Any kind of initiative is appreciated.

( Don't forget though that even if I leave a lot of freedom of choice what gets implemented or cut is my own decision. )

What you will get:

You will get my infinite gratitude for helping me out.

You will get an "Alpha Tester" badge, showing your support on the launched website. ( Name might change, but know that it will be quite a distinction. )

You will have the satisfaction of shaping something and making a difference in the creation of a website.
