Where is this alpha test server? The regular URL reports no work available.

The alpha test server is where we put new stuff that we want to test before we move it to the production machine. The alpha test server is only open to a few people, the reason is that if we put any work on the main server there is only a very small chance that a local machine will get any work.

The code that end up on the alpha test server can be much more unstable than what is on the real server. It is therefore mainly some local machines and some users that are aware of the higher "risks" of running the alpha poject.
