[edit] Status
Roasterbase is still considered to be in BETA phase. The database scheme is not fixed yet and every db-schemechange can possibly invalidate data from earlier versions. Productive use is not recommended yet.
Nonetheless most of the features work stable by now. The UI is more or less considered stable. Its probably good for a bit more than only testing :P
