Hi Malcolm, Some plugins offer functionality that I consider to be out of the scope of the main codebase. These take a lot of time to develop and test, and charging for them allows me to support that development and also contribute something back to CE.
There are no questions about the future of the CE platform: it's MIT-licensed, which means anyone can do anything they want with it (basically). I don't plan on charging for it or changing the license in the future, but even if I decided to, you could just fork it and continue developing it as you wish. You can even repackage and sell CE if you want. Will other community members be able > to develop and sell their plugins on the site? > Absolutely. I wish more people would. I know there's demand for a search plugin and a 'members-only' plugin, but I just haven't had time to get to them. > > I searched the website and google group for a road map of CE but > couldn't find one. Is there a roadmap? > No; none exists. It'd be a good thing to have, and I consider it part of the overall (lacking) documentation effort. HELP!
