Stefan,
We plan to release 6.1 Validation build with Extensions Store on July
15th. The Publisher Portal to publish apps to the store will also be
available by that time

Sreenivas

Hy Sreenivas,
Thanks. This sounds thoughtful and secure together.
When will you open the store for the developers?
I think it will be good, if there will be many extension at the
beginning of vt6.1
But i'm sure you know and will work every minute on this. ;)

Stefan,
/Did you allow developers to open up the license for
multiple installations? My Customers could install every
license on 2 systems to allow a development setup. Without
this, it will be hard to create big extensions./
By default license will be locked to an installation. Developers
can choose to NOT lock the license to an installation
(checkbox). If hardware locking
is disable, users who copy the extension file manually to
another installation can use the extension (the extension should
be installed via the command line
console tool on the second machine)
Currently, the login to the store is done automatically through
an id that is unique for each instance. So, it is not possible
to login to store with same user id
from different installations. We plan to relax this by allowing
users to signup and login to the store with their own chosen id.
With this, they will be able to login
to the store with same id from multiple installations. Once this
is there, we can provide the option of multiple installations
for a single purchase.
The Colorizer module in the preview was only shown as an example
in the Store. While we have intention to add support for
coloring records in a list, such a
feature is not yet released. We would be happy to see the
Colorizer module in the Store.
Regards,
Sreenivas

Hy,
This looks great. Additionally if you extend the API
Framework in 6.1 multiple times.

systems to allow a development setup. Without this, it will
be hard to create big extensions.
I don't want to bind my customers to hard with the licenses.
In my view of the world, a too hard license agreement will
create illegal movements.
I'm a little bit confused, because in preview you have a
module "Colorizer" which looks like my "Colorizer" module.
How could I register for an account in this store? Nothing
speaks against my modules for this store. I think it would
fit greatly.

We love the experience of installing apps on the
Mobile app stores, and trying to replicate that
in Vtiger. If the revenue we generate from the
app store (25% of the app fee) is good, then
that means developers will be lot happier (with
75%) which is going to make us even more happier.
The main hurdle is that the framework API
limitations require some system file changes,
which makes the extension non-compliant. That is
something we are working to address this and see
more extensions listed. However, we will not be
able to solve this in 1 version.

Sreenivas

On the other hand vtiger team got right to
generate revenue - just limiting existing
functions could be controversial
