I think something like admin.server would be useful, at the moment normal
admin.general traffic is getting drowned. Maybe admin.playground would convey
the testing-ground message?

At the moment, members have cookies that tell LUGNET to munge up a slightly
different version of the interface (ie the rating options). If there was a pool
of volunteer-testers then these testers could have cookies too to let them try
out new features - they wouldn't actually have to use a different server - and
they could still fully participate in LUGNET, just seeing a different version
of the web-interface.
The best thing would be that you could make whatever changes you wanted, but
only the testers would see them.. and the testers wouldn't cause a fuss as they
had signed up because they wanted to help - no casual LUGNET users would get
burned.
If this post has any salient points (it is 4am+), then I'd happily be a
volunteer tester.
