[Vtigercrm-developers] Roadmap 6.5 and 7

Tue Apr 26 12:53:20 GMT 2016

I do not know if the model is wrong, but needs some adjustments in my
opinion

1) Remove basic functionality of the system core and turn into paid plugins
makes no sense.

2) Price of add ons. If you have a funcionallidade US 25, US 50 is
reasonable, because for a reasonably functional core version is necessary
today 5 to 10 add ons. But Add Ons US 200, US 400 make it impossible,
imagine a 10 add ons package would cost US 4000!

Example functional WebMail, EUR 199, EUR 400 or check duplicates, format
fields for EUR 99, too expensive ( for me, at  Brazil .. )

3) Having to license the modules with each new version. Hard to imagine you
license the module in version 6.4, a month later leaves a hits package just
like 6.5 and you have to license all over again?

I take as an example the Apple app store for Macbook, you have updates to
the operating system for US $ 40, other free

I think the core team Vtiger could charge US $ 49 for a new updated core,
for example, why not?

The community could provide add ons without cost or equals values.

So the wheel turns, everyone wins and is accessible to most companies.

Note that in Brazil, only the conversion of the exchange, makes the values
are multiply for 4 and more taxes.
