-Beta1 notes-
 If you would like to be a beta tester, please read the following and download via the link at the bottom. If you do not want to do active testing, please wait for 2.0 final release.

* OS X 10.2 is _required_. I have tested on 10.2.3 and 10.2.4. However, if you have access to a 10.1 or 10.0 machine, I would like to know if the app crashes on start, or if there is a polite error message about 10.2 required.

* Please backup your .todo documents before testing. This is not a final release and could have bugs! However, Slacker2 beta should be good for daily use.

* Slacker1.3 cannot read Slacker2 documents. Once you save a .todo doc in Slacker2, there is no going back to Slacker 1.3 for that document.

* There is no Help Book/Manual for Slacker2. It will be in final release. The following are some items which may not be immediately apparent without reading the docs:

* Slacker2 is an OUTLINER. Use drag-n-drop of the icon (left column) to create an outline of todo items.

* Areas which I would appreciate particular attention are

	- are your bugs from 1.3 fixed in 2.0 beta?
	- opening of Slacker 1 documents- does all your data get imported?
	- date due's and reminders
	- date formatting - is it correct for your system preferences?
 	- proper sorting of lists
	- maintaining state the GUI across opening/closing documents
	- fonts
	- drag-n-drop in the outline view
	- undo- in what cases does it not work?
	- printing- vastly improved

* There are a couple of hidden preferences which aren't in the Prefs panel. Ask if you are interested. Or wait for the docs.

* There is NOT Palm/handheld sync support and won't be in 2.0. Ask if you are interested why not.

* Importing/Exporting of other formats like XML/plist/ics/vcs may be in 2.0 or may be later.
