Movable Type Experts Team Up On Melody, An Open Source Publishing Platform

A group of Movable Type specialists - some of them former Six Apart employees - wanted to speed up the development of the open source version of the popular publishing platform and decided to group together in a quest to build an independent, community-driven CMS for bloggers and other publishers. The platform is dubbed Melody and will be managed by a non-profit named The Open Melody Software Group , which has Anil Dash (Six Apart's outspoken VP and Chief Evangelist) on its board.
