Looks like there was a new nightly a few days ago.
Since you will be upgrading to a new version of android (2.3.7 or whatever CM7 was -> 4.0.4 for CM9), you will need to do the "wipe data/factory reset" option in CWM. This will erase all your apps and stuff like that, but it won't format /sdcard so any files you manually transferred to your Touchpad, etc should still be there. You will need to reinstall all your apps however. If you need to keep your app data, use something like Titanium Backup before you flash the new ROM to save your app data. You should also make a nandroid backup in CWM before you wipe data. That way, if you have any problems after you flash, just go back to CWM and flash the nandroid backup to get back to your system before it messed up.
The general procedure should look something like this: (note, it's been a while since I've upgraded android versions on my Touchpad so you should probably verifiy this before trying it)
reboot to recovery
make a nandroid backup
wipe data/factory reset
flash CM9 image
flash GApps
reboot
This exactly. Get CM9- it is absolutely phenomenal. I was a big fan of WebOS and was disappointed with CM7 / 9 when they were initially released. A few months of nightlies later and I am a believer- I even sold my iPad 3 once I realized how capable my chubby Touchpad was. Extremely excited for CM10 (Jelly Bean), but I am extremely grateful for CM9 already.
As of now CM9 nightlies have stopped as more devs transition work for CM10, there seems to be a release every week now- until major bugs are squashed. Get a Nightly, don't be one of those people who use Alpha 2 because it has a "more official" sounding name: you're missing out on a whole lot.
