is this possible? reading some topics and posts it seems there is a lack of testers. Could it not be split into hardcore testing i.e developers than know what they are doing and would be able to fix their device if needs be. Then a n00b testing area when the SW is at a stage where it will not break your phone

Just an idea and seems to have been discussed here but not much activity.

u can merge the threads if you like but thought this would be better on the n900 board as people like myself who own the device but do not venture on the development forum

I'd suggest that by using appwatch or browsing the test areas... you can use applications in the testing queue which are scoring well or near 10 - check the comments....
