The lack of documentation is a real struggle for someone like me who's proficient in small modifications of PHP, but not creating new code from scratch. A resource I did find that was helpful, however, was http://www.wmpudev.org -- unfortunately, it seems like the only place that has MU support. Has anyone else used MU for launching a site? I'd love to hear about it! I too am trying to use WordPress MU for a new site, albeit not a blog network.

But it isn't that easy. When you have (lets say just one) blog, hosted by wordpress, which you run on linux and you daily read slashdot news, it sounds like a full time job to support your community. Simply because online you are not part of one community, but many. The 80/20 Rule in full application. Supporting a community is of course the ideal and moral way of giving back.
