I was pretty keen on open-sourcing the entire client but it's clear to me now that we couldn't enforce people paying for applications if people modified the billing portion of the code. One thing we can do is allow users to create their own micro-stores, where we host the content and they create their own clients. Also opening up of the protocol for our catalog is another option (for free content). We can also consider certain partners and open up even more, with the assurance that the billing part of the code is not modified. My position now is letting the community tell us what they want because honestly, there has not been much of a developer push (as of yet) for opening up such things. I just don't know what is important to developers in this case. You making a request is a good step in pushing this forward. > > thank You. > > > On Sat, Oct 10, 2009 at 1:20 AM, Shane Isbell <[email protected]>wrote: > >> Just to let everyone know, we are in the process of transitioning over >> from the slideme.org site to our commercial site http://mobentoo.com. >> It's basically the same site, we are just moving domain names from .org, The >> .org extension was confusing some users and potential partners into thinking >> we are a non-profit. >> >> Originally, we planned slideme.org as the community site but with the >> introduction of paid apps (and future services we are working on), we'd like >> to go ahead and move the existing portal to a commercial domain. >> >> For those who are interested, Mobentoo derives from Mobile Bentoo Box.
