And its stupid. Because the best way to promote a development environment is to promote/ sell the apps that have been coded with it. I am waiting to see a revStore. With everything on it. This way John Doe (not to mention Steve Jobs) will be able to judge if apps developed with revolution can be great, inspiring, or if it's all crap. An the more apps there will be, the better it will be for everybody.
revStore is a great idea for selling stuff for RunRev community of developers. RevSelect offers products hand-picked by RunRev, I think of them as officially sanctioned extensions to RunRev products. revStore could be more of a central marketplace, may be even with a place with stuff that is now given away for free.
revStore is not a good idea for selling general/end-user apps made with RunRev. This could be better handled by having a Showcase area on the RunRev's web side. On one hand, there are the issues that Jacque described from her AOL past. On the other hand, there is whole spectrum of issues with competing with other venues that sell desktop software. There is nothing binding users fo products made with RunRev, like using same hardware, so there is nothing to draw them to revStore. On the contrary, bulk of RunRev-based products are for disjointed vertical markets. And I dare say that app users by large do not give a damn what tools their program was made with as long as it works and does what they need.
