Pre-Fab Profile Set?

[Marielle Lange]

Hi Dan,

This is excellent news. Your server, my server, doesn't matter. If on  
mine, I can easily set up a password protected forum. Yahoo groups  
don't have my favor either. We can discuss of the particulars in  
private.

But I should clarify this. Why password protected? My situation has  
changed. I have decided to take 6 months off my normal employment  
(academic) to develop a few projects that I don't have time to  
develop properly when on a full time job. Open Source development is  
cool. But quality applications can only be developed when working  
full time on the projects, at least for the design/pilot/putting  
everything together stage. Some applications that meet the specific  
needs of the academic community never get developed because academic  
don't have the time and focus to develop fully fledge applications. I  
had these ideas about 5 years ago, wrote a few utilities for my own  
use, but never had the opportunity to transform them into tools  
useful to my community. I am doing it now.

I don't intend to make money from selling these libraries but from  
selling small but very useful tools to a rather large market  
(educators, academics, in a $5-$10 the unit model). Until I am ready  
to distribute these, I prefer to keep my competitive advantage (I  
start to use buzz word as I am following an entrepreneurship  
course :) ). All libraries will probably be made available open  
source once I start getting money to pay back the development costs  
(no guaranteed salary for 6 months). I am very receptive to the idea  
of ransomware too (keep it close till you get the development costs  
back).
