YES! I would like to be a Beta Test for Abacus. I work at UCLA Data Science Center (includes Social Science Data Archive). We currently have SDA but as the person who has to maintain SDA I’d love to replace it with anything sort of a pencil, paper and calculator.
Thank you,

I am willing to be a Beta Tester for Abacus.

Thanks for being willing to test out new features that are part of IPUMS Abacus. While we don’t have plans for new features currently, we have added you to the beta testers group so you will learn about new features as they become available.
