<div>We are also planning modules for the extension store but
still working on it, first one will be JoomBridge, connecting
(multiple) Joomla websites / users with vTiger contacts with two
way sync. We use it for our customer service to reset passwords
and user levels from within vTiger for Joomla website where the
shop and content lives.</div>
<div>Probably extended with Hikashop and Acymaling modules to also
see that data in vTiger. (The extended NAW data from Hikashop is
than merged in the user contacts).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>JoomBridge is running fine for a while with websites that
contain more than 1000 users. We had to wait for a final vTiger
because things kept changing till the last version. Guess that
counts for more people. </div>

those sound cool.<br>
<br>
I have plans that include:<br>
integrate a full text search engine (lucene/sphinx or possibly
elastic search or something else) that indexes everything including
attached files.<br>
add together.js functionality integrated so it automatically knows
your username and so on<br>
do something to better expose the data from modtracker, so you can
see who changed what when on an entity. Perhaps a bit like an
etherpad timeline view.<br>
<br>
and some other plans. Some might be free, some might be cheap, some
might be a bit more. All will be "Free Software" and sticking a
price on things and hoping that people will pay it is entirely
consistent with the free software foundation principals.

<div>The extension store could be a succes if prices are a but in
line with ‘reasonable’ levels. Overpricing will make it fail.
(But that’s another difficult discussion)</div>

it is a useful discussion. What is reasonable pricing? What do we
compare it to?<br>
<br>
We don't have any clue at the moment what the volume levels might
be, but I am fairly confident that there are more smartphone users
than vtiger installations, so it might not be reasonable to expect
to compare a chunk of business functionality for unlimited users to
the price of a smartphone app that allows you to throw a pig at some
fruit or whatever the latest thing is.<br>
<br>
Should we be thinking in terms of selling 1000 copies of something
for $5, selling 100 copies of something for $50 or 10 for $500?<br>
