IMO. Not really. You can hide your plugins behind a pay wall. So users can only download them if they have access. The problem is: - As soon as someone has your plugin and they make this TW accessible from the web, your plugin can be freely accessed by everyone. - You can forbid this usecase by applying a restrictive license. Which gives you some possibilities. But you'll need to put a lot of effort into watching the whole web and taking down sites, that illegally host your content. - so imo that's not doable for individuals. - This effort is super boring and may destroy all your revenue. > The plugin management system can be used for delivering customized content > for individuals/corporate. > Yes ... but you have the same problem as above. Delivering customized and supported content can be service, that you can offer, if you are able to build and manage server side portals. > Can we monetize for educational/counseling services (via xAPI/LRD > integration) for creating 'learning dashboards' etc? > Yes. imo that's the only way, to get paid. If you offer different levels of service contracts. Training. Access to the latest and greatest content ... - So your plugins / content can have an open source or even a restrictive license but is publicly visible and usable without support. - Depending on the quality of the content, there may be a community of interested users, that provide "community support". - That's the way TW and many Open Source projects work. - The advantage for you is, that your content gets promoted and may be used by more people - Since the xAPI/LRD already needs a server side backend, to create any value, you could parnter with companies, who sell xAPI as a service. So they may be willing to share there revenue, if you bring new users and drive enough volume. - IMO this would be the easiest way, since you could use there infrastructure, payment systems ... just my 2 cents mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
