What I see as an optimal model for RR isn't far at all from what we have now. I believe that the engine should stay closed as the core team seems pretty well able to handle that. I think the plugin structure and SDK needs to be developed into more of a FOSS community (by this, I mean that Rev should put some resources behind source hosting and versioning, something like freshmeat or wxcode, forums with effective moderation, etc..).
I'd go for that. Its a good solid option. They should open up the documentation as well. I remain interested in where Adobe will go with Flex and Apollo. They say they will continue to sell Flex as a commercial package. It currently sells at between $499 and $749, and i would not be surprised if the price drops hardly at all after they open source the IDE. If I was RunRev I'd go for well designed products that use the engine for the end consumer - along the lines of the current Rev Media, and support, services, closed licenses and custom add-ons for the resellers and larger customers. I believe that Richard was right about the dangers of the middle ground in trying to please developers and hobbyists alike - the middle ground is not a fun place for tool developers. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
