Maintenance Test Release page

Submitted by tal on March 3, 2013 - 11:55pm

The Test Release page always has comments because people want to update this page.
It a relevant page to see all the beta access and I use a lot
Can you give for one or two active programmer (Gord Caswell,darksabre76,scriptdaemon), a user power to
that maintenance this page very often and will delete all the comment.
It will be easy for them to work, easy for other user to see what new.
like in the outdated page

I have a general request: because all applications are 32bit apps, is it possible to preview a development for some (or any) 64bit?
I'm particularly interested on graphics and maths apps, but also games could have benefit, isn't?
Many thanks

All

Have following suggestions...

[1]
After downloading/trying various apps both from here and other similar websites, I've noticed that the term "portable" is not accurate and used 'loosely'. Some, perhaps most, apps are TRULY 'portable' - i.e. can be copied/pasted anywhere and they will run. However, several won't. I suggest listed apps ought to come with qualifiers:...

PORTABLE: to mean TRULY portable, can be copied/pasted anywhere and will run regardless

STATIC: after initial install, app cannot run elsewhere unless re-installed from ~.PAF
