Rodent Regatta

Scriptygoddess has provided some more detail about the way she uses Movable Type and why the new licensing arrangement really doesn’t fit her current uses of the product. However, if you read carefully, you’ll find that she is also calling into question the feature set that (isn’t in MT 3.0) and hasn’t been announced for the future.

I’m still on the fence. I’m not sure I can learn a new tool quickly enough to keep some things I’m doing at a functional level. By the same token, I’m disappointed that work done to date is now going to cost $600 on top of design and support fees I’ve been paying to others.

Are these minor amounts of money that most people are fussing about? Yes. the problem comes with having no visibility into what MT 3.1 might cost, when there might be some new features and how quickly WordPress can get the product ready for truly (novice) users like me.

In my next entry, I’ll restate my own approach to using Movable Type.
