My own thanks to Curry for his long but incisive message about growing the
Rev user base, which was full of very good ideas for our Scottish band of
"Rev"olutionaries! Congratulations ... I think you might have just saved
them a couple of thousand dollars in market development consulting fees!
;-)
An idea occurred to me during the part where you were talking about the
$50-100 intermediate "not-so-Starter" kit: why couldn't a user pay for the
complexity of the scripts she/he uses on a variable scale? If I, for
instance, wanted to have access to 25-line scripts, I would pay $25, and as
I moved up to more complex scripts (perhaps aggregated or averaged per
object at the Master stack or project level) I would pay essentially metered
access to the Rev engine -- until I decided to opt in at the fixed level of
$350 or beyond.
The kicker is that this kind of metering system could be built into every
copy of Revolution -- perhaps with a Kagi-like payment system built in, too
-- allowing for huge potential numbers of intermedate users to come on board
and grow with Rev as their scripts and budgets allowed.
The only other suggestion I have is to approach the Average White Band to
write a special version of "Pick Up The Pieces" for the Revolution team and
their first nationally-aired commercial!
Tony.
