We need either a recommended build or some info on when the new server release (that Bukkit and Mojang are working on) is coming. Plugins are breaking left and right throwing a STREAM of "error" and "severe" down the console. Lets here your opinions in the pole!
Ah yes, the age old battle between stability and compatibility. Mostly, I found that the breaking plugins were novelty or esthetic, like AlwaysSunshine and WeatherSync. Those plugins are unmaintained, and now they pay the price. Just keep on mailing the authors, they'll release an update eventually.
