"Which plugins should we use?"

We hear this from enterprise clients all the time. So we put together the Plugin Pack, a collection of the some of the best and most frequently requested Movable Type plugins bundled with ten hours of installation, support, and custom development.

The Plugin Pack was developed in partnership with the plugin developers who receive a royalty from every sale, and who will work with us on incorporating new features and bug fixes.

Six Apart's plugin directory was always a great resource, but official plugin certification is a long ways off. Apperceptive set our own criteria for plugins in the pack: we selected plugins we've installed and had a good experience with, plugins that work well regardless of environment (PHP/perl, Apache/IIS, MySQL/Oracle and so on), and most importantly, plugins that customers ask for repeatedly.

The list will evolve, especially as some of the featured plugins are incorporated into Movable Type and other plugins are developed. We're very bullish on good software. People want to communicate more easily, and we want to help them provide tools to do so.

We're really pleased this is finally public. We've been talking about this idea with developers and customers alike for more than a year, and of course we want to thank Six Apart and the participating developers for all the support we've received.
