Community Blog

In this week's bi-week community conference call we decided to shake things up a bit and change the format of the call. So, in addition to briefing the community of Movable Type news, the product roadmap and other Six Apart developments, I spent the majority of the time interviewing and getting to know one of the callers and members of our community.

The lucky winner? Dan Wolfgang, the creator of one of Movable Type's most popular plugins: Better File Uploader, "BFU" as the community calls it. In our conversation we talk about how he got started using Movable Type, how he became a developer on the platform and the process he went through in building BFU. He also shared with me what's next for the MT4 compatible version of MT4, something he plans to release in the coming weeks alongside the multitude of other plugins our developer community is creating.

Dan was a great sport in allowing me to put him on the spot as I did; for which we should all be incredibly grateful.

"I love Dan's plugins and am interested to see what he comes up with next. His plugins make blogging so much more enjoyable." Yeap, Dan's work should be appreciate. Thanks a lot.

I use BFU for many years. Dan's work is really great :)

Oh I remember Dan in this video :) He was a bit shaken I believe :)

Where could we find some of these old video podcasts?

You can't watch them. As far as I know thay don't keep the podcasts.

I can't find BFU plugin. I tried to upload it and see how it works, but it is not listed in plugins.moveabletype.org. Can you help?

Hello, where can I find the podcast where you have been talking about Social graphs plugin which could be extremely useful for me? Thank you in advance :)

Yes, BFU is not available on this site. I also check very carefully. It would be great if someone tells us what is this plugin about (as it is one of the most popular plugins) and where we can find it.
