Open Source Is Not Just a License / Code / The Appnel Group. I think the points you make are valid for Open Source in general and, perhaps, pertinent to MTOS in particular at this stage. There is a certain amount of scepticism about motives and a certain amount of bandstanding with people backing their 'teams' and cheering them on. From the point of view of somebody who is very much just a user, I welcome not only another good application being made available, but would hope that MTOS gets good attention and help from the Open Source community because by so doing, end users are going to have more choice.
That may sound selfish (which it is) and there are obviously only so many developers with so much time, but there seems to be a progression towards a small number of CMS/blog applications which are universally recognised as good, followed by an increasing number of what are beginning to appear as 'also rans'. I am trying MTOS and genuinely enjoying it and want it to thrive. Movable Type 5 Beta. Are you ready for this?
We’re really stoked. Today begins a 2-month period of beta releases and official quality assurance testing. Though we still have loose ends to tie up, we wanted to get the code so that people could begin to use it and provide feedback. We plan to release a new beta version every two weeks until the app is stable. Once stable, we’ll be creating release candidates.
