Worth noting that the two markets are quite different - with one being consumer and one being business. Business generally will make less snap purchases, will do more due diligence, and be prepared to pay more once they establish the product they intend to buy. On May 13, 6:57 am, Robin wrote: >

re the Pricing model. An App Engine App Store along the lines of Apple's iPhone app store, would surely be a winner for everyone! This would be a fantastic feature. Although I would like to think Google would be a little more generous in their ToCs re the commission they take. On May 6, 10:19

Hi Jay, I'm thinking that the API would change very little - certainly 100% backward compatible with existing app engine code. For the simple use- case though - 'on' or 'off' - configure it in app.yaml - if it's on, then the datastore essentially has a 'login:required' flag on it, and all keys f

Nice discussion. Hawkett, what do you think the api you are describing might look like? Or is there no change because app engine would know that an app has been deployed to a google apps domain (through Google Apps Marketplace) and build that info into the keys or what not like they currently do wi

I tried arguing for a similar model around this about 18 months ago http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/browse_thread/thread/439d466d4e04b522/7847cf95195d53a7 And created an issue for it http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=945 It's not quite the same as what yo

There is a Google Apps Marketplace. Have you seen it? http://www.google.com/enterprise/marketplace/ It is not the solution you are looking for though. I don't think I want Google to offer a separate datastore option. (I'm not sure I understand what that would actually mean). Offering a separate da

In your model, how will you provide support / maintenance to these applications? If you don't have access to the application instance, and your customers don't have access to the source code, how do you solve issues that arise? Say a corrupt datastore for some reason? Then the company will still ha

this is a great idea, starred. right now we deploy our app to each user's GAE instance somewhat manually. it's not too difficult with a limited number of clients but an automated method using a Google sanctioned app store would be great. cheers brian On May 7, 7:23 am, Stephan Hartmann wrote: >
