You may have noticed the messages that often appeared on the old WPMUDEV over the last three months. The messages anounced many failed attempts to upgrade this site and add new features. The reason that the prior attemps failed was that the original code that ran this website was developed rather quickly over two days, was not meant to be permanent, and was most *definetly* not scalable. Thus about 20 days ago it was decided that it was time to buckle down and rewrite WPMUDEV from the ground up. The new code took just under 100 hours to complete and was designed to be easily maintainable and upgradable. So, hopefully there will not be a need to perfom a complete rewrite in the near future. Although we are not quite finished with the API system, we went ahead and upgraded the live site to the new code for two reasons. The first being that the old and new db architectures were nowhere near compatible and we knew it would take several hours to transfer all the data. The second is that thursday night seems to be the period with the least amount of traffic according to google and waiting another week just wasn't feasible.

Maybe this is a stupid question from the swede-guy but where can I find nightly-builds och WPMU? That part od the downloadpage hasn't been updated for months now. Where are those builds now? :-)
As far as I know they're still here: http://blogs.linux.ie/download/wpmu/
