We're ready at this point to make the release, but want to do some final QA,
Will there be some kind of beta, so that an user based testing is possible as well?
Since Inkscape follows the open source process, the most recent source code is always available for users to try out, and we definitely encourage them to do so. For Windows users, Ishmal provides nightly built Windows EXE's (see Wiki for details). Also, we've been doing good at getting new releases out pretty frequently - once every couple months on average. So it's probably not too necessary for us to do a formal beta test beyond what we're already doing.
A release candidate followed shortly (days) by a proper release of the same code if no major problems are found is a system that seems to work fairly well for most projects.
