[Adium-devl] Nightly Builds?

[Chris Forsythe]

We had a single beta release add QQ, it didn't even work right, and  
we still got somewhere in the order of 108k downloads of just that  
beta (I think beta 8 of 1.0, I'm not sure though). Beta downloads  
aren't as much as final, but they do get quite a bit.
