With our main site moving into the beta testing phase I have decided to close this discussion forum. All the content will stay up but new conversation will need to be started on the main site.
All registered members are invited to become beta testers on the new site. Simply follow the instructions below. Note preference will be given to long time members are frequent commenters.
Please hesitate to reach me via the contact page on our main site or leave a comment below.
Thanks Avi

JewsByChoice.org is looking for beta testers!
We are looking for 15 to 30 Jews by choice (or soon to be JBCs) to participate in a semi-closed (meaning that while our site is visible to the public but registration and posting capabilities are limited to beta testers,) focus group and beta test of our revamped and soon to be re-launched Jewsbychoice.org
What we need are people who are reasonably comfortable using web based social networking applications (think Facebook , MySpace or blogs) to help test out our new social networking environment at http://www.Jewsbychoice.org
First and foremost we want to test the site for any potential technical issues. Secondly, we are looking to test out the websites layout design and social networking features.
Testing will not require a huge daily commitment from our beta testers. What we need is beta testers to commit to a minimum of 3-5 hours of testing during the closed beta phase, which is expected to last 6-8 weeks. A few minutes a day should do it but testers are free to spend as much time as they want on the site. Basically we just want people to play around with some of the sites features (keeping an eye out for bugs,) as well as to interact with other testers. Most bug reporting suggestions, discussion sessions, will be handled on site via group discussion forums, however some testers may be asked to participate in one or more (optional) phone interviews
Ideally we would like our beta testers to be JBCs or soon to be JBCs with an interest in meeting like minded individuals and engage in online Jewish social networking opportunities. Of course, we are also open to the possibility of including other members of the Jewish community (preferably with some connection to JBC issues) on our beta testing team. This is a trans-denominational project so individuals from all major denominations are welcome. In fact we feel the more diverse the group the better!
For more information on this project please visit http://jewsbychoice.org/about/
Individuals interested in become beta testers can reach us via email from this page http://jewsbychoice.org/about/ . Be sure to include Beta Test in the email subject field.
Thank you and please feel free to pass this information on to any groups, lists or individuals you think may be interested in helping out.
