SixApart is requesting feedback from MT users about how they use the product. In particular, they're looking for data from people like Ginger who run multiple and multi-author non-commercial blogs. If that describes you, speak up!

My situation is easy - I'm a sole author of a single blog. I do now participate in two group blogs, but I have no authority over the former, and the latter is unlikely to need an MT upgrade any time soon. All that said, I can foresee a day where I might want a second blog or a second author - I've been trying to persuade Tiffany that blogging software will make posting baby pictures for family and friends to see much easier than a commercial package plus FTP would. So, while I've got no problem with the concept of paying for a new version of MT, I'd just as soon not have to worry about per-seat licensing. One non-commercial-use install should mean one license, in my opinion.

Regardless, I'm not the one who's going to be greatly affected by all this. I may never be more than a one-blog shop. I do appreciate SixApart's efforts to hear their customers out (which, let's face it, they should have done first). Make sure your voice is heard, too.
