Beta Testing just means it isn't the final version of the computer 
program.  Usually, when it is a Beta system, they mean that MOST of the 
bugs are out, but some might show up and it's usually appreciated if 
you will report them.

I tried the site, and it is so cool!  Thanks!

But what is meant by "beta testing"?  Does that mean we should be 
sending comments/Qs re the database to the Home Orchard Society?  (My 
only Q currently: what would it take to set up databases for pear, 
peach, plum, apricot...)

The Home Orchard Society is doing beta testing of an apple pedigree 
database.  If you want to have a look, go to
