For what it is worth, I try to promote the beta testing on general bits.
I also invite people to write articles for me.  To highlight a feature
or concept or just to egg people on in a short article by a guest to 
general bits is very appropriate.  My audience might not be core
hackers, but getting the larger user group to participate as well
as prepare for conversion is something I can help promote.  
(Just contact me to submit articles for publication--the invitation
is always open.)
