[wp-testers] Feature Freeze, Wireframes, Visual Design, Bug Scrubbing, and Beta Testing

[Kirk M]

I've found that the actual overall stability of the trunk builds (via 
the "Stay Updated" link) has been pretty solid for the last couple of 
weeks now barring any specific theme or plugin incompatibility. Not too 
sure if it's ready for a beta though, bugs like the thumbnail and image 
size problems haven't seemed to have been resolved as yet and although I 
haven't had a chance to update to today's builds at all, the QuickPress 
editor in the new Dashboard layout looks awfully awfully primitive 
compared to the older style 2.7 Dashboard of just a few days ago 
(nothing but single 1px (?) line framing and a couple of misaligned 
buttons).

If it's just stability that's the concern though, I've been running one 
of my production sites on 2.7 trunk with no major problems so far (but 
that's just me though) .
