I share Moonbase's feelings also... specially this point... "There is no
clear path where to go. What are the goals, where is the target
market?".  The move to SQLite (possibly to accommodate the new product
line) and then back to MySQL completely left the existing MySQL users,
like myself, wondering what to do. Do I stick with MySQL? Is SQLite the
future... and if so why? Because of the new product line?... because
NASes need a smaller OS footprint?... because it has better
performance?... Should I plan to move to SQLite or not? Nothing has been
clearly articulated. The "existing" user base is confused... I know
betas are betas, but there is no clear vision (strategy) to which clear
goals (strategy) are attached. What I fear is that the plugin developers
will get frustrated with the platform changes. They have either stopped
development (enhancements) of their current plugins or have not
introduced new ones in quite some time. Palm OS is a great example of
developers moving on to greener pastures when Palm failed to communicate
a clear vision for them. Look at the number of Palm application and then
find how many of those have been enhanced or developed recently.
