Hi,

[For those of you who don't remember what this is about: MT: MovableType,
WP: WordPress]

So, either you actually do it in MT or wait. If you wait, hopefully
someone else will do it. There is a reasonable chance that this someone
will use WP.

Smearing a CMS that is not your favorite is not something I personally
like reading. I have better things to do.

So let's get into practical details:

Can you provide an example implementation with MovableType?

* How much customization will it need?
* What will be the process of upgrading it while still preserving your
  customization?
* Is the Debian package movabletype-opensource good enough to avoid the
  need of a separate installation?
  - Is it well-maintained?

I suspect the sysadmins would prefer using it unless there is a solid
technical reason not to do so.

* MT is installed as a CGI script. Is the performance good enough?


(And to counter one obvious point: we don't need all the potential
volunteer base to know how to maintain our CMS. We need enough of them
to know how to. And we need the maintinance to be simple enough.)

If you need my little help to provide simple review of your prpposed
system from the point of view of someone familiar enough with Perl, I'd
be glad to help. 

Folks, we have a whole nuclear power-plant^W^Wsite to build. So let's
we've spent enough time discussing the bike shed.
