Folks-
I don't have a degree in computer sciences, I am not a php programmer, and probably never will be one--and I know that some of you think that disqualifies me from even having an opinion. But, I am a vB customer--I think a more-typical one than the coders--and I do have an opinion. Quote:
When I look at other software categories--whith which I am more familiar--Quark comes to mind. QuarkXPress came to dominate its market mostly because of XTensions. Without them, the software was not quite as capable as its major competitor. XTensions allowed it to be easily customized to accomodate niche markets. Quark (IMHO) has had many assinine corporate policies--the XTension Developer program was not one. The program was easy to join. Quark promoted program members in its literature, it took them to trade shows, it gave them space on its discussion boards, it promoted the hell out of them. As a result, not only were there many commercial XTension developers, but a community of amateur developers grew and produced many excellent free Xtensions. Similar things can been seen around Photoshop plugins--commercial products and high-quality amateur (free) products are not mutually exclusive. As a jelsoft customer, if i want to add to/change the functionality of vBulletin, what are my options:
This place is very insular, and set up in a way that supports the needs of a small community of coders, and not the needs of a larger vB-using community. It needs (IMHO) to be opened up --don |

I totally agree. On the other hand, I think that a directory of the type that The Geek Speaks of, would be better off in the .com site as opposed to here. |

i think it should be a seperate site vBulletin-xtns.com and it should be a review site of commercial extentions, who runs and maintains is another thing but yeah, theirs many software review sites out there, i think one for vBulletin wouldn't be a bad idea, and if one already exists, just add an official to to the front, give em a free license and call it a day

coders have their manners, they can handle complicated content and complicated communities where to discuss and share, but the client is the one to satisfy at the end... the ones that would disqualify your opinion have no right to be here... (btw, this is a great opinion!) |
