Anything you need us grommit-dwellers to do? Or not do? And can we all put “Powered by Solaris” logos on our blogs when we’re done?

I’m not interested in moving off MovableType unless it’s guaranteed lossless. And MarsEdit will have to work. I’m rather fond of the notion of durable URLs, especially after watching the b.s.c fiasco. On the other hand I might be persuaded to move to MT3…..

1) SSL certificates will change (https/imaps/smtps)

2) shell users will have to update their profiles/rc-scripts to update their PATH so they get all the utilities they were used to

i’m hopeful that everything else should remain unaffected. and yes, you will then be able to put “Powered by Solaris” logos on the blogs ;-)

Geoff: not to worry, your blog is running off your own install of MT, so it will be untouched. everyone else on grommit uses a central installation of MT, which i’ll probably move over to the new box and keep. i’ll try migrating my own personal blog to WordPress to see how lossy/lossless the conversion is. once that’s done, I’ll still probably keep both around so people can stay with MT if they’re comfortable with it already.
