It depends on how much time you want to spend maintaining your server. 
The stable code tends to be pretty solid, and doesn't need the
operator's attention very often after it's started.  The CVS code, on
the other hand, gets bugs pretty often.  Sometimes the server won't
start, sometimes messages get lost, and so on.  I run the CVS version
myself since I want to know about these bugs, but unless you feel like
submitting bug reports whenever something weird happens, you might want
to stick to 0.0.5.3 until 0.0.6 comes out (really soon now!).

That'd be great.  I haven't started revising the README yet for 0.0.6,
so any patches would be quite welcome.

I don't have the source to these programs; you should ask the operators
of these sites.  (It'd be nice if they'd put their code online, in
fact.)
