For a few weeks now, I’ve been playing with Movable Type, porting my as-yet-unfinished Friends plugin from WordPress to MT. I’ve been interested in what’s happening in the MT development world for a while now, and this seemed a good way to find out.

It uses the same YAML config that the MT plugin does, witha few caveats, but this is an awesome start!
