A few dozen, hundred or even thousand people worldwide purchased this software. Each of them have different goals, objectives and expectations that match or does not match with the majority.
Because of the nature of this program we can be regarded as "competitors" but on the other hand also as partners because we use the same program and rely on the same developers.
With the later in mind I would like to suggest a more streamlined collaboration process for all vivvo users.
1) Closed forum for vivvo license holders only where we can freely discuss our goals, objectives and expectations. (There are millions of people and websites and a few hundred or thousand vivvo users can hardly posses a real competitive threat while the positiveness of COLLABORATION with such users would anyway exceeds the risk by far)
2) Active development where above users can specify what they wants to be done with the program and how much they are willing to pay. If 10 users want better pagination and are willing to pay $50 each it's $500 that is available for development thereof.
The biggest problem is that the vivvo development team can only do so much and must focus on the WHOLE program while I am sure that MANY users have smaller, but yet important for them, issues that they wants to address and are willing to pay for that.
With collaboration as suggested above we can advance as a group MUCH faster and further than ANY other similar script and that will benefit each and everyone in the long run very much.
What do you think?
