Well the nightlies are here, so let's give thanks to the great CM devs and all folks associated with the project (which I am not). If you want to ride the nightly train for your Nexus 7, c'mon down...
[WARN]Rooting, roming, flashing, hacking, etc. will do some crazy stuff. It could break your phone. Be aware of these risks when you're going through this stuff, and for the love of all that is holy, have a backup plan![/WARN]

First ==> download the rom, download the "GAPPs" file (Google Applications, like gmail, play store, etc., which are separated due to legal rights), that as well, and place these files on your internal storage--the "faux sdcard." Be sure to check the md5's of the downloads to ensure that they match up with the given md5.
Second ==> reboot into recovery, either by selecting recovery mode at the bootloader (remember--be plugged into a computer) or by using the option in an application.
[TIP]Manually Rebooting Into the Bootloader
Third ==> make a backup. If you use CWM, the best way to do this is to clear cache and dalvik before you make a backup--it'll be cleaner and take a bit less time.
Fourth ==> wipe your phone. There are two forms of wiping. They are full/clean and dirty (hence "dirty flashing"). Clean wiping should occur whenever you have issues with your device or are switching from one rom (e.g. AOKP) to another rom (e.g. CM10 nightlies). Dirty flashing should occur when going from one "build" (e.g. CM10's August 18th build) to another build of the same rom (e.g. CM10's August 19th build).

Fifth ==> install the rom and GAPPs. This is the easiest part. Look for "install from sdcard" in recovery, find the zip file that you placed on your device in step 1, then flash/install that zip file. Once the rom zip is installed, be sure to immediately install the GAPPs file or else you won't have a Play Store and other Google-made goodies.
Sixth ==> reboot the "system" (it's a normal reboot), setup your device, and if you used Titanium Backup, go from there.

- The rom zips will always be found at "get.cm." Since our device is "grouper," look for grouper on the left hand device menu. A specific link to the grouper nightlies is found here.
- Official CM GAPPs are maintained at goo.im. The latest GAPPs package, from 7/26/12, can be found here.
Installation Procedure
First ==> download the rom, download the "GAPPs" file (Google Applications, like gmail, play store, etc., which are separated due to legal rights), that as well, and place these files on your internal storage--the "faux sdcard." Be sure to check the md5's of the downloads to ensure that they match up with the given md5.
Second ==> reboot into recovery, either by selecting recovery mode at the bootloader (remember--be plugged into a computer) or by using the option in an application.
[TIP]Manually Rebooting Into the Bootloader
- Power down the tablet.
- Plug the tablet into a computer; no need to set it up, just make sure that the USB cable is connected to a computer.
- Once completely off, hold down the "volume down" button and the power button simultaneously.
- You will see small lines of dialogue in the right--it should say "fastboot mode" in red at the top of the dialogue. This is the bootloader, congrats
. - To get into the recovery, simply use the volume toggle to find "Recovery Mode" and use the power button to select it.

[INFO]Clean/Full Wiping
- Wipe data/factory reset (this also wipes the cache)
- Wipe cache (just do it lol, it's good to make it habitual)
- Wipe dalvik cache (in advanced)
- Wipe system (i.e. format system in mounts/storage)
