Hi All, thanks for all the comments to the Medium article. I have updated the Pilot project after very useful comments from Giovanni.
The ecosystem pilot project sketch now identifies 10 possible specialized roles in the ecosystem 10 transaction points for revenue sharing 5 of these collecting money from sub suppliers/partners By enforcing a strict uni-directional linking of roles this can be very manageable, since each party will need to relate to 1-3 other role. https://medium.com/@ensby/a-possible-couchdb-application-ecosystem-e39ac4397cea <https://medium.com/@ensby/a-possible-couchdb-application-ecosystem-e39ac4397cea> johs PS About the 10 roles To create a market, we need to specialize and stop the practice that "everyone is doing everything". When every site is built and modified from scratch and everyone is stitching together any selection of frameworks and solutions, we are like the carpenter that makes his own tools, but decide to become a blacksmith too, since he does not like the only blacksmith in the village. The problem is that the tradesman that provide steel will not sell to carpenters who does know so little about steel, especially since he is asking for free advice all the time, so the carpenter decides to go into the mountain and find some ore to make his own steel..... This problem would have been solved if the village had 2 blacksmiths. We need at least 3 players in each role to create an ecosystem. To start with we can hold several each. About javascript framework I have a dilemma, go for ermouth's jQueryMy which is extremely efficient and has the beauty of easy integration for widgets into Inliner (actually you can have a dynamic view of widgets pop up in Inliner and as easy to include as adding and cropping an image. My other alternative is to use Vue.js as I have the feeling that it will suit the simplicity goal. I would appreciate advice. See this tweet for a comparison of frameworks. https://twitter.com/search?q=Github-star-to-contributor%20ratio&src=typd <https://twitter.com/search?q=Github-star-to-contributor%20ratio&src=typd> The trade-off between few developers (clean code) and wide following is on this range: Angular: 33 Github stars per contributor React: 56 Ember: 28 Vue: 265 (has now 9 277 stars and is showing up on Google trends, rising together with React https://twitter.com/ensby/status/663666399911518208) jQueryMy: 923 If you would like to share this with people that you might think would be interested you could use this tweet https://twitter.com/ensby/status/663977466864758784
