Oh come on ;-) I never knew about this page, yet I have never found it
difficult to test development versions.
When a development cycle starts, just look at the release schedule in
the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule
, all the important dates are in there, so you know everything in
advance ! Then just subscribe to -ubuntu-devel-announce , and you will
get an official announcement for development releases, herds, beta, RC
and whatever is important, with a direct link to the download page.
Then, once you have installed one development snapshot, just follow the
daily uploads and their change log in -feisty-changes, and when you
spot something interesting, just click on the update manager icon to
update automatically and test the new package ! :o)
