Do You Sell Commercial Plugins?

Yesterday there was a very interesting flare up on the REALbasic mailing
list after the surprise death of a third party component company. A project
of ours (at Paradigma) that was sitting on a back burner was to set up a
tools site for digital designers and developers - a news, resource and forum
site for those who work in cross-discipline markets (cross-platform, mixed
media, etc). We went ahead and set up the forum part sooner rather than
later because of third party market concerns.

After we set up the REALbasic Add-ons and Plugins forum on Digital Pilon (as
soon as you are ready, we can get a Revolution one up as well), I started to
think we should have a specific one dealing with the business end of
creating and selling these types of products - writing and selling plugins
has some unique challenges. I invite you to participate.

Ive also posted a short article about some general plugin types from a
business perspective and how to avoid conflict with the "master vendor".
Since Valentina is available for so many development platforms (MSVS, xCode,
RB, Rev, Director, .net, etc), Ive been able to come up with a good list of
questions to ask yourself on how to avoid being stepped on and remaining
competitive. If this is of interest to you, I invite you to participate.

BTW, there isnt a public board policy set up yet - be kind and respectful in
the meantime :-)
