Sandbox? how to test our App?

[BuboMe.com]

Hello,
We want to deploy our opensocial App to Ning, but can't find the sandbox? does Ning have one? else how can we test our App?
We tried creating a social network, and added Gadgets, and tried adding our App xml URL, but everything is displayed in a tiny box, is there a proper way to test an App?

thank you

Hi CountCulture (and everyone else for that matter) -

Now that we have released Ning Apps to the public, developers looking to develop Ning Apps no longer need sandbox Ning Networks -- this is because the Apps themselves are written as XML files and stored on third party servers.

You create an arbitrary social network via ning.com and then test the Ning App's XML file through the following instructions:

Thanks,

I'd also like to know about this. I've sent an email re getting a sandbox set up (so I can write a Ning App that a number of people have been asking me for), but haven't received an acknowledgment or anything. How long is it supposed to take, or am I missing something?

Thanks

OK. Maybe you could update the docs then. Latest version says you need to email to get sandbox for Ning Apps.
