Status of Movable Type development

By Jun Kaneko
Posted October 8, 2011, in News.

Having moved our case tracking system to Fogbugz on-demand, one of our favorite features is its reporting function. You can see the current activity of Movable Type development with a variety of graphs and charts. I would like to introduce some of the highlights here.

Number of fixed and implemented cases

The following graph shows numbers of fixed bugs and implemented features since 2007 when we started to use Fogbugz. As you can see, it is more active than ever.

Number of fixed and implemented cases

I should also mention that this achievement includes a lot of contributions from the community which is also shown in the long list of the acknowledgments in 5.1 release notes.

You can check the live status if you have an account. If you don't, you can create an account to report a bug or send a feature request.

Number of open cases

You might wonder how the submitted cases are handled. The development team is reviewing new cases on every Thursday. And periodically we conduct "a big triage" to sweep remaining cases. The following graph shows the improvement in our product management.

Number of open cases

Now all the feature request cases have been reviewed and categorized in this product backlog page.

10th birthday of Movable Type

October is a special month for Movable Type. And especially this year, it is the 10th anniversary since it was born in 2001. Thank you for your continual support. We hope to be a further exciting platform for you to enjoy.

For alphabetic scripts, movable-type page setting was quicker and more durable than woodblock printing. The metal type pieces were more durable and the lettering was more uniform, leading to typography and fonts.

Hello Everyone! I don’t really know much about MoveableType. Is a contact managment system (something like wordpress) or what?

Anyway, very impressive status, please answer my question right here on this page. Thanks in advance.
