You could well be right, but consider for a moment a few alternatives. Perhaps it's the $5000 up front just to be listed? I see the fee's reduced to $2500 now as a promo, but still .... that's a huge barrier for most. Or perhaps its the fact that the nature of the apps that get listed means they aren't usually 'purchase-able' with a simple 'click to buy' (how do you sell SIP trunking with a click-to-buy???) - and as a consequence there's no purchase capability built into the asteriskexchange site, just link outs to different purchase-ish URLs for the various products. Anyone looking to sell their app would need to develop their own point-of-sale/payment processing systems .... so it's really not an 'app store' at all in the traditional sense. Kudos to digium for realizing this goal, but I think the $5000 get-in cost has resulted in the lack of interest/popularity, and limited the listings to only the largest, most profitable asterisk/digium partners. -d -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
