[BlueOnyx:05823] Re: Automated installs of CMS's

[Greg Kuhnert]

Hi to all who have been reading this thread.

I've been reviewing some of the discussions on this topic, and thinking 
about how WHAM might be used to meet your needs. The two points that 
stick out from the discussions are (1) You want more modules, and (2) 
You want a different pricing model. I have some ideas to address both of 
these points. The ideas are still a little work in progress, but here's 
a current status report.

Work has commenced on a new wham module. This particular module needed 
something new that was not possible using the existing installer. I only 
needed a minor hack, but I decided to do a little more work to cleanup 
some stuff that has been outstanding for a while. I'd estimate no more 
than a week to complete both of these tasks. I think most readers will 
enjoy the new module that is published - as it meets a need that many 
have discussed on this list.

Once the installer update is complete and the first new module 
published, work will commence on getting more new modules published to 
help meet the first of the requirements discussed - to publish more modules!

The 2nd requirement is the pricing model. I have a few ideas in this 
area as well, but the ideas are very early in the thought process, and 
I'm not quite ready to share these thoughts yet.

There is much more to talk about, but this is probably not the right 
place for ongoing discussions about a commercial add-on for BlueOnyx. 
So, if anyone would like to be part of the discussion for new WHAM 
modules, feel free to join a thread at

Regards,
Greg.
