Movable Type goes open source, enters WordPress turf
,----[ Quote ]
| Movable Type goes open source, enters WordPress turf6 days ago, Movable Type
| announced that its software is now open source. With a number of killer
| features built in and a thriving developer community, the organization may be
| well positioned to woo users from WordPress.
|
| Since Movable Type’s launch, there has always been a free version available
| with fewer features than the commercialized product. According to the Movable
| Type’s blog, “back in late 2002 and early 2003, [cofounders] Ben and Mena had
| both been adamant about one particular point from the very beginning of the
| negotiations: That there would always be a free version of Movable Type with
| the source code freely available.”

Movable Type 4.0 Beta
,----[ Quote ]
| Movable Type 4.0 represents a significant step forward for a platform that
| has been losing its competitive edge to free, less sophisticated alternatives
| that continue to improve. The full-featured Movable Type 4.0 Beta is a fine
| alternative to Wordpress or Blogger. Developers and bloggers who want to
| create a unique platform will like this GPL-licensed open-source version,
| though the awkward interface still makes it less than ideal for inexperienced
| Web publishers.

Open Source Rocks
,----[ Quote ]
| I've been doing a little work on a proof-of-concept for a new fully
| WordPress driven alexking.org site. I'm working off of the current WP
| trunk ("trunk" is the place bugs are created in any software), so naturally
| I ran into a couple of minor issues.
|
| After a brief IM conversation with Ryan to make sure I was fixing the
| issues correctly, I submitted a patch and minutes later it was
| committed. Fantastic!
