Help Test Exciting All-New Slashdot "Banjo"
After far too long in development, Slashdot is ready to move to
the latest version of Slashcode.
To this end, we really need people to test our development box, aka Banjo. This is not a load test, so please don't beat the crap out of it (yet!). Please read comments, post comments, and test out wacky new features like Journaling and the assorted new messaging options. It is mostly identical but there are several cool surprises. We have many optimizations still to add, and only have a fraction of our "real" hardware on Banjo so don't worry about speed, instead look for things that don't work right (or at all!) and send those bug reports. (Known issues: imported comments are misattributed, and comment searching is disabled. Don't report these things please ;))
Or they could have just posted the announcement in the Science and Apache sections. Many less people, and the S/Nr is much higher. You could get a lot of helpful work done, with less system stress and less pre-paste posting...

The arrowpoint is being "adjusted" at the moment, so yeah, the site is fucked till that is done. Nice to see that it doesn't crash despite being completey swamped with connections :)
You can't grep a dead tree.
