I have one question about builds. How many people or builds "roughly" (just throw a number) are there on here for the linksys wrt32x / wrt3200acm routers. Is it just one person making builds for a specific router or is it multiple people making builds. Trying to figure things out here. I see different builds all over the place. Thanks guys

The answer to your question is partly that the builds are betas. They aren't quite nightly builds, and you should read the thread for a build before flashing it, if you are worried about stability.
As far as I know the entity known as Brainslayer is responsible for all builds, although he does have a gang of coding Oompa Loompas available to him.

I found the "Timeline" page very useful for tracking builds. You may as well.

All new builds are beta builds by Brainslayer, meaning stability can change from one build to the next. If you're interested in having a stable connection, you should only upgrade your build if you're experiencing a specific issue that is resolved later, or if a major security event occurs that is fixed in a newer version of DD-WRT. Otherwise, find a stable build and stick with it.

Regularly upgrading beta builds is not advised if you're running something people rely on.
