Has anyone else seen this? It seems MT is gonna start playin' hardball with their stuff. Is it yet time for Munu to pull out of this game? What says Pixy Misa?
Posted by Mr Mouse at May 14, 2004 04:18 AMIf the comments and trackbacked posts I've read are any indication, I don't see how mu.nu can run on the free licensing plan--at least, not on the new version.

Posted by ilyka at May 14, 2004 04:28 AMThat seems to be a definite problem. However, on the plus side, I suppose they can't make us update, can they?
Posted by Kang A. Roo at May 14, 2004 05:13 AMMinx is still several weeks away.
ExpressionEngine is only $199 for unlimited blogs & authors on one server. That's my fallback plan at the moment.
Posted by Pixy Misa at May 14, 2004 05:19 AMExpressionEngine is only $149 for non-commercial use, fyi.
Posted by Anonymous at May 14, 2004 05:26 AMHaving just read the whole thing, it seems this is only if you want to upgrade to version 3.0; if you stay on 2.6 or whatever there's still no charge.
Bring on Minx - you could end up with a far bigger user base than you thought.
Posted by Simon at May 14, 2004 07:17 AMYes, EE is only $149 for non-commercial use, but I think that the extra $50 is a small price to pay for a completely open license.

Posted by Pixy Misa at May 14, 2004 07:55 AMAnd the new version of Wordpress is supposed to be released next week. It's going to include support for multiple blogs too. (A lack of which caused Pixy to dismiss it last time, if memory serves?)

Posted by Light & Dark at May 14, 2004 09:13 AMYes, that was my main problem with WP. I'll definitely be taking a look at the new version.
Posted by Pixy Misa at May 14, 2004 09:19 AMPixy,
What are your plans for distribution of Minx beyond mu.nu? The editor over at eTalkinghead is looking for a new system to replace MT.
Posted by Stephen Macklin at May 14, 2004 04:15 PMAssuming I actually get Minx working, it will be released as open source, so it will be completely free for anyone to use.
