I’ve set up a test install of WordpressMU with BuddyPress added and nothing else. It uses r1219 for MU (from Friday) and r18 for BuddyPress (today’s version).
You can find it at http://testdrivewpmu.com and feel free to sign up and check it out from a user’s perspective. The more people to test it, the more bugs can be squashed, and the more clear we can be in documentation.
As this is only a test site, it can disappear or break at any time. No information will be saved or gathered for nefarious purposes. At some point, I’ll set it up to reinstall itself every so often.
The other thing I’ll mention right off is that I know profile picture uploads aren’t working, but that *could* be an issue on my end, as I’m having image-related issues on my server.
(cross-posted to buddypress dev list)
If you were curious about MU and what it’s like, or curious about BuddyPress, this would be the place to try it out.

Thanks for setting this up for us Andrea! I tested it out, looks like buddypress has a bit to go before it’s finished. I was having trouble with the bp dashboard and profile pic areas. Anyways, thanks again.

Thanks.
I have to admit that I’m concerned about that “Endusers only get a single blog” discussion we’re having on the mail list. That shuts out all of our installs.

Hi Andrea,
I tried out your BuddyPress install and then set up my own. I’ve noticed that the blog comments are functioning, but not outputting onto the individual posts.
I’m trying to fix it today but thought you might already know the answer. Thanks!
