One of the items on the plate is a change of content management system for MMM. Due to a change that’s happening with Blogger – effective near the end of March – FTP publishing will not be doable. This takes away something that has been a solid feature and advantage for MMM. And while this change is understood, it does mean a change.
So besides looking at content management systems like WordPress, TypePad, and Drupal, one of the thoughts that has kind of come back around is the idea of using Google Wave as the landing place for MMM. One, the ability to instantly allow people to embrace the discussion here would be much easier. There would also be a much easier route towards not just finding content, but also people that connect with it.
The downsides are that Google Wave currently sits as a Google-served product – so without a Google account there’s a problem. Also, until I can become a bit clearer about running an MMM specific Wave server, I’m not sure that there’s enough time in the day to play admin to something that would be cool, but would also have its share of issues.
So I’m kind of putting this out here – and on Twitter, and on Wave – to hear from you. What would you think of MMM going to Google Wave? Or, if there’s an open source solution that’s similar (and won’t get bought out in the next 5min), what would you recommend and why?
