I may continue to use MT for some of the Non-profit sites that I have worked on, since it still fits their needs (but stay at 2.661) -- but I have been "looking" and have found WordPress to be a good PHP-based solution -- and lo and behold -- many of the same folks have been writing plug-ins! http://www.wordpress.org/ Unfortunately, I find myself in the same quandery.

This really disturbs me. I like the software and, like you, I like hosting my own stuff and playing with it behind the scenes. I was also assuming, from what I've read previously on their web site, that they would have an MT 3.0 and an MT Pro version, the latter being the paid version. I have a feeling they may loose some of their userbase because of this recent change... I was as shocked as you when I read MT's web site yesterday. This really disturbs me.

So far it's been a really easy to use and configure PHP based CMS. No weblogging module though, which is why I also use MT. It does have add-in module capability though, so a weblog module could probably be written for it.

Sorry, but no. Especially when I have I think 10 journals on my installation now. I'm going to continue using the version I have. It works fine for me. But if that stops working for me for some reason... well, guess I'll be looking for a new publishing tool.

I was really hoping for more with this release, and I guess above it all i'm just dissapointed. Unfortuntaly, right now i don't have time to tinker with new solutions, but I will soon in the coming months. Looking forward to hearing what you come up with.
