News from around the WPMU block

First up, you may have heard about the WordPress MU Awards. There’s TONS of awesome wpmu-based sites listed there to vote on. I’m really glad they used ticky boxes because I can’t choose just one.

(I didn’t nominate my own site because it needs a major overhaul first. :( Next year? )

Second – there was a surprising but short update for a new WPMU version, quick on the heels of the single-WP upgrade. As always, Donncha has the scoop.

Third – BuddyPress is on a feature freeze so they can release on Dec 15th.

Fourth – they opened up the forums over at WPMU DEV Premium. Okay, so you can’t post unless you register, but you can read the goodies. How’s that for transparency? Actually, you can now see all the goods, it’s only forum posting and downloads that you need to register for. C’mon – pony up a month’s fee and try them out.
