who runs the auto build server? I'd like to simplify the content of that page. I think we might be able to get all the links on the page without scrolling.
and here's a sample of the kind of editing i'd like to do, from the downloads page
http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Downloads -
CHDK currently is not issued in "releases." Rather, it is available from a special server that generates nightly "builds" of the source code, customized for various camera models and firmware versions:

CHDK is generated nightly, customized for various camera models and firmware versions:
and this is removed
These autobuilds can be compared to the nightly builds of projects such as Firefox: Developers make changes in the source code, which is then automatically compiled into a working build you can download.
These autobuilds are largely considered safe. We don't include highly experimental code in the mainline CHDK.

The average person visiting the site wants to find out what CHDK is and how to install it, preferably simultaneously. (who wants to read any docs??) So I don't think we need to explain our autobuild process and touch on the nerdy debates behind them. Once they play, have fun, and come back to contribute, then we can explain that bs!
while many individuals have made heroic contributions to the project, we need to attract more people to the project to achieve our goals. Simple, concise docs help draw people in.
(speak up or else you'll witness a heck of a lot more edits as seen above!)
