You probably can, but it is rather simple:

1. On your N900 device, go into App Manager, top menu, "Repositories", and add the following repository:

Name: Maemo Extras Testing
URL: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-testing/
Distribution: fremantle
Sections: free non-free
Enabled: YES

2. Do "Update", then "Download" and you will see way more packages than if you just use Extras. Install some you like.

3. Run installed packages. If package runs well, vote it up. If it crashes, vote it down and leave a comment. Voting and commenting happens here:

http://maemo.org/packages/repository...xtras-testing/

Note: Each new version of the package has to be voted up separately!

Let me know if you have any questions.
I'll do that as soon as my n900 arrives. There are a few things there I would like to test. A quick "How to reset if it goes wrong" would be handy too, as I understand the point is to test stability, which includes testing instability.
