I like the idea of MTCS as an actual product you can buy. As you move through all the ways to squeeze marginal profit out of the concept, consider the gazillion non-profits that are out there and that all want to create communities. My cut would be to sell something like MTCS through hosting providers.

It could also become a typepad product, but typepad's limitations would reduce your market reach.

My other recommendation would be to come up with clear pricing schedules where I could just buy what I needed without having to go through some sort of negotiation with (or in my case, complete ignoring by) your custom pricing sales team.

This is going to sound super anal, but here goes anyhow. What about a test suite for plug-in developers. In Test Driven Development, the requirements are expressed by the test suite. You could express your plugin api the same way. That way, it acts as a contract between you and the developers. New versions of the API have to pass the old test suite plus the new requirements as expressed in the new tests.

If you got this to work, then you could have plugin developers develop to a test suite before product release with less fear of breakage.

Any chance the Custom Fields lost data upgrade bug has been fixed? I've been hoping for it in every release candidate-- and it's been a pain in the butt upgrading and then reverting back to the betas each time in the hope it's fixed.

Long ago an MTCS personal license was mentioned. I still haven't seen anything about it. Will it be available anytime soon? I've been waiting for that for the longest time since I can't really afford the prices offered to enterprises and such.

This looks very sweet : I've installed it on my Mandriva system and it is definitely much better than MTOS. Anyway, I will just try it, as there is no way I will use it in the future :(
