2 Comment(s) | published by Danny H. on Monday, January 11, 2010

On January 11, around 3am PST the beta version of LemonStand was released to the global public. Simply by registering on the website, people everywhere can now get a beta license key and install LemonStand and start learning how to use the platform.

Virtual camp out

Within minutes of putting the form online, before we had a chance to announce it on Twitter, Facebook or to our email list we started getting registrations. It was as though people were sitting at our homepage, waiting for the "Download Beta" button to turn yellow.

The immediate results were very exciting and encouraging for the team. Once we announced the release through various channels, registrations accelerated quickly and are still coming in every few minutes.

Feedback, feedback, feedback.

Our main goal for running the open beta was to get feedback and bug reports. Especially concerning various hosting environments. There are many server configurations out there and we need help from all of you to get LemonStand compatible with as many of these as possible.

We have already squashed a few bugs in regards to the installation process, and this led to us updating the installer. More on that later.
