Well our second round of beta-testing has been going for a week now and we've been blown away by the response! (You can still sign up if you haven't yet by visiting www.oneeyedeer.com)
Over the past 7 days we've had over 230 contributions, or more than 30 a day! That's massive from a limited, hand-selected, beta-testing list of only 85 people.
Part of those contributions included the identification of bugs and suggestions, many of which have formed the basis of our latest release. That release (0.3.1) has now gone live, so why not pop into the site and check out the changes (there's a full list of release notes in the previous post)
It’s Time To Recognise!
While we thank each and every one of you who has contributed to the site, we'd like to especially recognise those who have been working the hardest to make OneEyeDeer better. Below is a list of the hardest working people on the block!

1. The Professor
2. sly
3. RJHunter
4. Kim
5. oridental
6. gevason
7. clint
8. Tim Bull

If you're one of the top 3 in any category, you might want to check out your name next time you log in. We've added a little something to make sure everyone knows how big a help you've been.
If you're not on the list, don't worry, there's still a chance to get in on the goodies.
• We'll be rewarding our best contributors for the next release
• We're going to be rewarding the first 1000 active members of OneEyeDeer with a permanent symbol of your status on the site. Active means you’ve done something (other than sign up or visit) so get cracking!
• At the end of beta-testing, we've got some one-off, never to be repeated goodies that we'll be sending out to our best helpers
Special Request For This Release
This release we're asking that in addition to the stuff you've already been doing (which has been fantastic) you pay a little more attention to 2 particular features:
• The big red buttons that appear in the right hand sidebar when you click on an issue or a solution
• Communities
We would also like to know your thoughts on whether these features are useful and, if so, how to make them more usable (seeing as nobody really used them in the last release!)
That's it for now. Thanks again for all your help and hopefully we'll see you on the site soon.
