Configuring the beta channel
Note: This step can only be done by a RocketChat administrator.
- Create a channel with the following format:
#beta.username_projectslug
- Populate the description and topic.
- Paste in the beta rules as described below:
**BETA RULES**
The Purpose:
To create a singular publicly released and shared package of known good files paired with instructions that would enable someone to build whatever we have released without having to come in contact with us.
The Rules:
1. Don't leak the beta files. A singular, known good, with instructions package is the first thing the broader world should ever see of this.
2. These rooms and groups are to test what the developer is releasing, not for you to make feature requests of them. Test what they are providing. Give feedback regarding the print build and assembly. Don't ask them to make it take Glock mags.
3. Do not attempt to modify beta files. We are trying to lock down a configuration.
4. Test build and report back with speed (if you're able). We understand you're busy but the faster you all report results back to the dev the faster it will get to release.
4. Beta rooms are not for us to collectively verify new files, not for you to get some cool shit early. Do more than watch or print. (This is not early access.)
5. Have fun. Seriously. And don't be dicks.
- Drop in the beta files archive.
- Set the designer as the Channel Owner.
- Announce the beta
Pro-tips:
- An announcement can be updated to display a persistent message in the channel.
