I updated SharDB (Download) for WordPress MU 2.9.1.1 and added support for the comment meta table.  

The bulk of the merge has been done in WordPress core. At least with regards to moving over the files. Now the fun part begins: bug gardening, testing and tweaking. Here’s what you can do to help not only the dev team and others, but also yourself: - set up a local install of WPMU - import some...

I had a few requests to update the Bulk Import Members plugin, so that it did not require BuddyPress to be installed and that it work with WordPress MU 2.8.6. Other changes: it now goes in the plugins folder & activates sitewide. The only users who have access to the plugin are site admins. it...
