Statistically, probably not. The reason is that you would tie yourself to a Google owned framework, which would make selling you technology less attractive to potential buyers (other then Google). There is always an option to port your application, but it might be less strait forward at least on the database side, since AppEngine DataStore is quite different from the usual SQL base database managers. I would look into using services like Amazon EC2 or RackSpace to implement the app on a technology that is open. (I'm currently looking in to Django, Repoz.bfg or TurboGears as a solution. That's my 25 cents anyway. /Johan -- Johan Carlsson [email protected] http://www.colliberty.com http://www.easypublisher.com--
