Witango-Talk: Witango Wide Adoption? a little OT

[Lance]

hi list,   i have not been posting in this list for close to 2 years. ever since pervasive screwed tango up and i have switched to php as my primary development platform. however, i was having a talk with another friend of mine couple of days ago. that talk made me write to this list.   once upon a time, i could find tango listed as one of the development environment in macromedia site. but not anymore. you probably would say "who cares if witango is listed in macromedia", but think about it. if it gets back to that list, it will definitely raise some eyebrows.   frankly speaking, i still find that there is no ide out there in the web application development world that can beat witango studio. we were wondering what could make witango a big success like php.   the common thought that we had was, if only the witango application server is distributed freely. this will definitely help in improving the adoption rate of witango. with enterprise could simply earn from selling their studio application and selling support services. they could even develop one in java and this will be very appealing to the general public. i mean, look at zend. they are a big success. why is that so? i believe their model is worth a look at.   honestly speaking, the app. server is so costly that with the current world economy in distress, recommending it to any possible client is almost close to impossible.   just a thought from an old lover of tango (witango).   cheers, lance ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/maillist.taf
