[Vtigercrm-developers] Preview of New Marketplace (Portal) for Extensions

[Siam Translations LLP]

Good stuff, just need more extensions... hope there will be good choice.
What we would like to see is the possibility to try extensions before buy.
It means that in store developers
should have an option to expose link to online public profile with
installed extension.
I am also scared of prices. Some guys now charging crazy money for simple
things - in my opinion this should be stimulated somehow.
Another thing is services - I would like to give a chance to some
developers to sell hours/service packages. It may help some less qualified
users (like Andrew).

6.1 validation around the corner I guess?
