Hello Paul,
Does anyone think there would be any moderate-sized market for a for-fee version? How many of you would pay a few hundred bucks for a high-quality dev/authoring/admin environment for Zope?
I think so. While I don't usually like anything from Microsoft, I was very impressed by their upcoming .NET Visual Studio. The IDE is beautiful and is a programmer's delight. I would pay for one. However, if it cost several hundred US I probably wouldn't buy one for personal use. But, at work, where I can now use Zope as part of my job, I could get away with ordering a copy. I would love to hear what Randall Kern has to say on the subject. He's the primary developer at Spoke.net, answers questions here, and, more importantly, in a previous life, he was a developer on the Microsoft Visual Studio team. Luke
