In Where’s the Beef?, Mena Trott mentions that on Tuesday, SixApart invited the first fifty public beta testers on board for MT 3.0.

I gotta pay better attention, ‘cuz I was one of those fifty. I just filed the email, thinking I’d get around to it later (I have several semi-completed technical projects underway and SIFF press screenings start on Monday). I guess I will make time to set up the app.

One of my concerns was my desire to segregate my current implementation of MT from the beta, in case of unexpected nastiness, especially at the database level. I will spend some time on that topic, probably for publication here, next week, amid the other projects.
