So, just curious, what are Cyanogen Nighlies? How are they different from the stable ROMs? Do they have other features, or are they a work in progress? And I heard people saying they just install them over each other. Does this mean that, if I started at nightly 60, I could just flash 61 without having to wipe? So I would in theory never have to wipe? Thanks for all replies! :D

They are experimental... sometimes they have more features, sometimes less. Sometimes they are more stable, others not so much. They are really for "flash-a-holics". They do install over each other for a while, but you eventually hit a point where you will need to wipe. I personally stick with the stable releases.
