Helping to test HackIt!

Status of the game development
The first alpha version (alpha0.1 - so it's VERY early work, it's not supposed to work properly : ) ) has just been released, and we need some feedback about it to improve it and fix what is working or not.

There isn't much from the game itself that actually works, except the fact that you should be able to browse the web in the lower frame while keeping the HackIt bar on the upper side.

Testing the game

 * 1) Open a new message in your mailer (for example, a reply to this email you are currently reading), to write down your first impressions while you will be looking for bugs (nothing is too silly, and you can only get your first impressions once, so don't forget to do it : ) )
 * 2) Go to the alpha version of HackIt!
 * 3) The HackIt toolbar will appear on the top, and you should see the Google homepage on the bottom. Use this Google page (not the URL/search field of your browser or the hackit toolbar) to look for websites you will want to hack, or that people are likely to want to hack. (The hack, scan, etc. from the toolbar don't work yet - you will just be able to browse)
 * 4) Whenever you arrive on a page that is not displayed correctly (for example, the hackit toolbar disappears, or is displayed twice, or the page itself is not displayed correctly, or the links on this page don't work, etc.), enter a bug report (see below).
 * 5) You may find other types of bugs (like the "Go back to the previous page" button of your browser that is not working correctly), you can report them too. If you are not sure if something is a bug, fill a bug report anyway and I'll tell you.
 * 6) For anything that is not a bug (your first impressions, ideas, questions about the gameplay...), write it down in your email. Also, you can write about qualitative/quantitative things such as the proportion of the websites you visited that worked, how slow/quick it is compared to when you access the page "outside" of the game, etc.
 * 7) If you are stuck on a page, go back to step 2) and click on the link to start over.

Reporting a bug

 * 1) Read this document to know some general rules about reporting bugs
 * 2) Create your account on Launchpad
 * 3) Write a meaningful summary of the bug you have found on the bugtracker and follow the instructions (if the bug has been reported already, you can simply write a comment on the existing bug report, saying that you have this problem too)
 * 4) In you bug report, remember to include :
 * 5) * A screenshot of the bug AND
 * 6) * The URL of the website you were trying to hack or scan, if any AND
 * 7) * The detail of the steps to reproduce the bug
