Pondering an upgrade
Some time ago I ranted about the fact that SixApart started charging for their blogging software, MovableType. It wasn't that they started charging that bothered me, but the price. Anyhow, it turns out, as I thought it might that the price was for a developers version - the regular version came out a few months later and at much more reasonable prices.
Anyhow, I still haven't upgraded. For what we use the software for, we could upgrade for free, or maybe for a very minor charge - so the cost isn't the factor. The deal is, I don't want to just up and upgrade without first knowing what I am getting into, so I'll want to set it up on a different server first, then upgrade here. That's a bit of work and I'm not sure I want to go through with it.
The problem is, some of the plug-ins that are starting to come out would be nice to have, and no surprise, 3.0 is more developer friendly so they only work with that version. Of course, that also makes me wonder if the current plug-ins and tools (like the one I'm using to post this) will be upward compatible - for most, I think not.
Perhaps I should wait until school is out before even considering a move...
