Movable Type.org

The Movable Type Open Source Project is still in the process of evolving to meet our users needs. As a result some aspects of the project are still in flux and/or being developed. This page is meant to give an overview of the project's road map and milestones, the status of each, and when we think they will be completed. In time, all of these issues will be addressed by Six Apart and the Community. In the mean time, use this page to track the progress of each of the major tasks associated with fully realizing the Movable Type Open Source Project.

Bug Tracking System

• Status: Available at http://bugs.movabletype.org/
• Release Date: May 2008

Update: December 20, 2007 - an error occurred in our initial export of our MT bug database, delaying the process. Chris Hall will be working over the holidays on this project to bring the public bug repos online ASAP.

Update: January 24, 2008 - with the first official stable release of MTOS, getting a public bug tracking system could not be a higher priority. We continue to thank you for your patience as we complete our migration.

Update: June 2008 - In May we silently made our bug tracking public as we worked with community members to address any privacy concerns that they may have had. Registration is now public and anyone can register to create an account.

Contribution Policy

A copy of the MTOS Contribution Agreement is now available. Feedback is welcome and encouraged.

Support Forums

• Status: In pilot
• Projected Launch Date: Unknown

In conjunction with the launch of the Movable Type Open Source Project we are also piloting a new set of forums set up to help support the community in their use of the software. It is our goal to use these forums on an on-going basis for more then just MTOS.
