I'm happy to announce the release of Tags.App version 1.1, a plugin for implementing a content folksonomy (tags) system in Movable Type. The basis of this...
I'll try and be as brief as I can here. I've been thinking about the great conversation about text filters last month[1] and David Jacobs wished[2] for more...
I'm game, having had the same thoughts about ProNet for a while. The main concern, I think, is to see how many such users are still subscribed to the mt-dev...
Sounds like a great idea. I'm still subscribed. Anyone else? As far as restricting the membership, since mt-dev has been dormant for so long and is no longer...
Also, after receiving a copy of my own post from the list within 30 seconds of sending it, and not having to wait 40 minutes for it to come through, I remember...
Heh. I had the exact thought... :) ... From: mt-dev@yahoogroups.com [mailto:mt-dev@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Kevin Shay Sent: Monday, October 17, 2005...
... Agreed. ... Yes this is a classic problem. How does a group protect itself from itself. I think what ProNet has been missing is active moderation. I'm not ...
I'm in, the amount of support requests on ProNet vs. the lack of response when a developer posts a plugin or a plugin idea (or at least the lack of response...
Works for me. I also don't want, or don't want to force upon you (or anyone) the need to review every message. Just requiring group membership to post, and...
Okay, who was it that was supposed to keep a tight rein on members? :) ... From: mt-dev@yahoogroups.com [mailto:mt-dev@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Arvind...
Tim, Yahoogroups has an option to automatically set new members to moderated status. Once they have sent enough messages to show they understand what messages...
(Third time's a charm in trying to send this, I hope...) Hi all, I'm glad that you brought this up. As many of you know, the Pronet ranks have swelled greatly...
... As someone who has been around the internet for a long, long time, I can tell you that starting a new mailing list with a subset of those same people won't...
... I've been doing that for a year or more now. The reason I started it was because people were joining and spamming the list. I'd ban them, but another (same...
Congratulations on your new assignment (I think). I'm glad to here you are considering some changes in Pronet. However with all due respect, I'd prefer to have...
... Thanks. It is indeed an honor. ... I'm sorry to hear that you don't feel that we have been reliable or helpful in the past, Tim. That speaks to a bigger...

Thanks for the recommendation, Rob. However, before we start considering software or services, I'd like to understand from Tim (and anyone else who has an...
... Jay, When Tim told me at Web 2.0 that he was thinking of reviving mt-dev because of the shortcomings of Pronet, I immediately thought the same as you. How...
Here here. Democracy and decentralizaton is not a bad thing. As a matter of fact, I think it will do a great deal to strengthen to MT community, because many...
Thanks Adam. What he said Jay. It has a lot less to do with disappointment (guilty conscience Jay? ;) and more to do with creating community on our terms that...
Just before MT3 was released, I know I posted a ton of messages here (that is, to mt-dev) and received answers, in general, very quickly. They were more about...
The thing that keeps coming back to me is that at BlogOn last year, when we were being told about Pronet, it was hyped tremendously as a developer-friendly,...
... Hmm, the undertone here is that Six Apart 'owning and controlling' something is detrimental to its health. I'm not sure that I'm following you, if that's...
Disclaimer: I've been sitting near Tim all morning and we've been going back and forth about this. I agree (as quoted) that ProNet could be better, and needs...
About the only interesting thing that comes to mind lately is that if you add a category name to an MTEntries container, within a category archive, it's...
