Concept features for Movable Type 4.x

New features

  • Massively Multi-Author Environment Management - We've built custom scripts that manage this, but it seems like something that would best be handled inherently for this, and that there is a space to be filled in the market on. Basically, every author should have a profile with a bio, photo and their most recent posts. I think anyone with a multi-author environment would want that. Then there should be tools to manage many authors more easily, adding photos and bio text, and triggering emails to all the authors etc.

  • Security Options - It would be really nice to be able to easily integrate MT into another application without separate log-ins. Right now the security was done so well on MT that it actually makes it fairly difficult to integrate. I haven't thought through well how this could work better, but there should be some plug-ins to look at other security tables or visa versa.

  • Built in Statistics - It would be great to have a better view integrated into MT of what's popular, in the last 24 hours, 1 hour, and all-time. This would take page views, permalinks, comments and emailed stats into account

Template Tags

  • Pagination - Of course...
