Hi Folks,
Thanks to everyone for the well considered and helpful suggestions
that you
have all made. We appreciate the feedback. Let me chime in here
with a few
comments on all of this.
If you ask people "why isn't" or "what's wrong with x" type
questions it
invites, well, all negative responses. I'm sure we can do better,
especially
when you give us feedback that is concrete and specific.
Over the past year we've been extremely successful in both growing
our user
base and attracting partners who will help us grow it further.
Some of
those have yet to be announced, but over the course of the next
year you
will see the results of that strategy. And I'm happy to say that a
part of
what's coming will address a number of issues brought up in this
thread.
!!!
I'd love to share our business strategy in more detail with you all
to place
the suggestions you made in the considered context of our plans, but
unfortunately the world is a very competitive place and its simply
not in
the interests of Revolution, and therefore this community, for me
to do so.
Our actions over the coming months will speak for themselves. We
are where
we wanted to be right now and we are extremely well placed to grow
in new
ways over the coming months.
We have to be aware that it's the best never to much to say about
strategic plans ;-)
I appreciate that people would like us to post more often to this
list and
that is a visible thing that we've got to improve on. Its a very fair
point. To set this in context, we've been busy training new staff,
developing product, improving marketing, signing partners and
getting ready
for some big next steps. When things settle down a bit some of
those new
staff will have time to come and post here more often. Right now,
as much
as everyone wants more posts on the list, people even more want us to
deliver new versions of the product with new manuals, better graphics,
better fields, enhancements to the IDE and a number of other big
features -
many of which have been mentioned here, as well as implement the
next big
steps of our marketing plan that will make Rev more popular. As we
execute
that the new team members will have time to settle in, and it will
become
much easier for us to stay on top of the list traffic more regularly.
Lets remember a few of the successes that we've had over the last
year.
We've worked so hard to bring on board 3rd parties and promote 3rd
party
activities. If I look back over the last dozen press releases
we've done -
going back to July - 9 out of 12 of them are about 3rd party
activities. We
gained a 5 out of 5 review in MacWorld. We've doubled sales and
greatly
expanded our team. We've improved the product to the extent that
even the
most skeptical of our users has commented on how much more stable
it is. And
we have new partners we'll be able to announce over the coming year.
Of course we're not always going to agree on everything we do with
everyone.
In business you can't please everyone all the time. But we must be
doing
something right to attract so many new customers.
More in about PostgreSQL native support would be an usefull technical
help ; an Apache's Rev_Module would be a great marketing opportunity
to let us skip lots of PHP server-side coding...
I ask that you be patient and, I'd appreciate it if this thread
could be put
to rest for now and we can return to solving programming and
development
issues.
Thanks to all, at RunRev and thanks to all of us too : list members,
designers, coders...
Kind regards,
Kevin
