Currently, there are '''Want to help out?''' <strike>I have tested my 0.1pre on Ubuntu 8.04 32-bit and Mac OS X 10.5.5 i686.  It would be helpful to get results from other people using Mac and other Linux distros.  Please click [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/User:Ashughes/BirdTorrent/TestResults HERE] to help test Birdtorrent 0.1pre. '''NOTE:''' I will be canvasing for Windows testers in the upcoming days. Stay tuned.</strike> This contribution opportunity is over since I am no contributors longer using a static library.  <strike>'''Survey''' - I need to know what torrent sites people use the most for the upcoming 0.2 release. Please [http://ashughes.com/?q=node/64 vote].</strike> <strike>'''Server''' - I need a torrent server set up in CDOT and populated with some test data. This will be used to both test and demonstrate while on the school network.</strike><br />Big thanks to [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/User:Jatinder.singh Jatinder] for attempting to get this projectworking in CDOT. After running into considerable technical difficulties, I was able to set up a tracker with seeding locally on my laptop. This will be used for demos as an alternative to the CDOT server.
