I agree with using the list for alpha testing, and opening up beta testing to
the public (since they don't have to d/l anything, just run the servers
scripts). May main concern is the PA licence. Untill I have stable code, the
PHP, and text derived from the XML is going to be hosted on one of my machines
for manipulation reasons. During the beta test (public) this will have the
effect of serving book pages from a non-PA server.
I figure I need either
1) The legal OK from PA to do so
2) Letting me set a folder one of my servers as an 'official' PA test server
with the right to distribute under the PA licence (unchanged graphics and book
text to keep everything inline with the text as presented on PA)
Just got through the array section of my PHP/MySQL book. I should be getting to
the MySQL basics in a week. At that time I'm going to tey and vreate the
item/equpment tables, as well as the player table. Then I'll get the GUI shell
up, and test equping and unequiping items to test the inventory system.

I'd suggest that the initial testing be opened exclusively to the list. The
main
reason for this would be to catch all the major errors in a pressure-free
environment; if members of the public download something and it doesn't work,
they generally get a bit irate (I know I do!), so if we can catch the worst of
it in the first one or two releases, then would probably be a good time to open
up Beta-testing to members of the forum. Just my own thoughts, of course.
