Umbraco CMS
===========
##Note: Building version 7 from source##
If you're interested in using the source code and building version 7, make sure to read the [Belle ReadMe file](src/Umbraco.Web.UI.Client/README.md). Note that you can always [download a nightly build](http://nightly.umbraco.org/umbraco%207.0.0/) so you don't have to build the code yourself.
