For me it builds, runs, and does most things.
Beta testing, no. There is no documentation of what is expected to
work yet, so it would be hard for you to decide whether something is a
bug or simply not quite yet implemented.
If you are willing to dig into the internals to get an idea of what is
supposed to work, then you can test those features. If not, the most
productive thing to do IMO would be to run with it, try different
stuff, keep accurate records of what does and doesn't work as you
expect, and send us a summary that we can use as a checklist.
(Working features too, that can be used in regression testing.)
Even so, much of what you do would tend to be redundant, as the merge
process itself will result in a lot of bug fixes and completion of
features. So I can only recommend that approach if you'd like to
learn more about the implementation, and become more active as a
developer. It would be excellent preparation for that.
