Sounds like a great idea too.  It would need some (minimal) structure, to
ensure that new features, major changes, etc. were covered.  Maybe it
could be backed up by IRC.

Maybe, Aaron ... but do you know anything about programming? ... :-)

Seriously, if you are not too busy and would like to help, I would be
honoured indeed ... :-)

KGoldrunner has just had a major re-write and two aspects that should
be tried out by an independent tester are that no features have been
accidentally omitted and that the gameplay experience is essentially
the same as before.

Also, guys, I should have mentioned, the proposal is reciprocal.  So if
anyone would like me to "buddy" their games, please let me know ... :-)

All the best, Ian W.
