Mt 3.0 Where Are You?

4 March 2004

I need to know some things. I’ve got projects to do and how they get done depends on the feature set of Movable Type 3.0. Some of what I need and want to do relates to changing this weblog. Other tasks involve new weblogs with specific capabilities. Here are some examples of questions I have:

  • To what extent are features previously available via plugin or third-party going to be native to MT 3.0? e.g. blogroll features found only in blogrolling.com?
  • I want to be able to turn off comments on posts older than a couple of weeks. That can be done with a plugin today, but it requires that the underlying database be MySQL – not the Berkeley db. Is this going to change with MT 3.0?
  • I want to switch to the MySQL database, but some have cautioned against it while others say, ”run the script; no problem.”
  • I’d like to better understand the referral information for this weblog. To use Refer, I have to be on MySQL. Any plans to build this type of functionality into MT 3.0?
  • Finally, when?
