I can offer up my OS X 10.5.6 PPC beta testing ....

But I probably won't end up using it . No offence intended here Mr Shirik but I don't think it meets my needs.

I update only every week or so off email updates in a folder in my email. I prefer to examine every change log to see if it's a major update , minor update or if it's an update i'm either interested in or need.

This whole process only takes me 15 mins or so.

I guess my perfect updater program solution would be one that gets these emails out of my email box , examines them for specificed tags then downloads and installs them automatically , giving me a report.

Not really feasible but I'm happy with my current updating method.

Can't wait

Being a past and current supporter of WM I am excited to try this, I currently have Vista Home Premium on my main box, and XP Pro SP3 on my alt box. Looking forward to trying it and comparing it to WM, forgive me guys if I seem critical of it at first, but Im hoping Minion will be all Im expecting, If so I will be sold and once again loyal to WoWI for other than manual updates.

Looking good so far and I love the module building idea . . .

Verrrrrryyyyyy Innnnteresting!!!!

Looking forward to giving this a try. I am mostly interested in the possibility of grabbing my add-ons from the two sites I use at the same time as opposed to grabbing from one and manually doing the other. Any idea if the module for Curse is being worked on?

You would need to ask them. Whether they (any other site, not just Curse) choose to support this way of making one application work for everywhere, or not, is entirely up to them. We will certainly be willing to help them write a module to plug in to it if they wish, and we will be more than happy to host any official modules that are made for other sites, but we won't be writing them ourselves (unless they specifically and officially ask us to), for very obvious reasons.

It appears as though they're putting some thought into it, at least.

i'll be testing it with my windows 7 rc1 and Vista Home premium. Can't wait, I use the curse client and have only recently got into this website, i think i have been here in the past but never paid close attention to it. Then I discovered carbonite (great addon, already got most of my freinds converted) and this site!

I am actually looking forward to giving minion a try when it comes out to test. I am not sure about how my imac running Leopard will feel but I have definitely seen enough here to know I want to participate. And I also know that people here are willing to help work through any problems that might arise. Just remember explaining real technical stuff to me these days is going to be like explaining them to your Grandma.
