1.  Have you ever tried using prerelease software in the past?  What
were your experiences?  I use "nightly builds", which are a type of
Firefox version that are even more prerelease than betas or RC's,
quite often, and they tend to work almost perfectly.  I occasionally
have minor problems, on the order of "the cursor shows up wrong when
I'm typing an email", or "this new Fx is slightly incompatible with
the Tab Kit extension, so now drag-and-drop tab reordering doesn't
work".  But nothing that stops me from getting my work done.

I don't think I'd like to do it.  But please let us know:

2.  What is your OS and OS version?

3.  Do you really need an installer, or is a zipfile containing
Thunderbird good enough?

4.  Is that your real name?  If not, what is?  :)

5.  How much were you thinking of paying for the work you are requesting do=
ne?

Also, if you could follow up to the list after everything settles and
let us know what you decided to do in the end and how it went, I would
be interested to hear.
