Mimi kuweka SharePoint Designer upanuzi wa mradi hadi saa CodePlex mapema mwaka huu na hata ingawa ni kweli kabisa mdogo katika upeo, Mimi makisio kwamba imepakuliwa na 40 kwa 60 (pengine hata 100) companies in just about two months. That indicates to me that there’s a market for that solution and if I were to successfully commercialize it, ambayo inaweza kutafsiri katika kiasi mzuri ya bia 🙂

Background yangu ni kweli zaidi katika maendeleo ya bidhaa na mimi najua ni nini wanatakiwa kuleta bidhaa juu-notch, kinyume na mradi hobby CodePlex, to market. In my kipindi cha maisha, Mimi alikuwa na wajibu wa bidhaa R&D for all software products. The difference between then and now is that I’m a consultant now working for an (bora) kampuni ya ushauri (Conchango). Hapo awali, Mimi nilikuwa na kampuni nzima nyuma yangu na mbele yangu, selling and supporting the products we brought to market. Leo, Ningependa kuwa peke.

Nina mawazo kadhaa bidhaa katika akili, but I think the easiest would be to create a commercial version of the above-mentioned CodePlex project that uses that as a starting point and extends it further. My fuzzy off-the-cuff thinking is to charge something like $100 kwa ukomo developer leseni na $500 per production web front end. I think I would also give away the source code.

Kama una mawazo au uzoefu kwamba uko tayari kushiriki, tafadhali kuacha maoni au email yangu moja kwa moja. I’d like to hear opinions like:

• Je, ni vyema?
• Vitendo mapendekezo kwa ajili ya masoko, kukusanya fedha, kusambaza.
• Bei.
• Kusaidia.
• Maoni yoyote nyingine Ningependa kuondoka.

It’s "easy" kuja na mawazo ya bidhaa na kutekeleza yao, though many dozens of hours of work are required. The other stuff is not as easy for me.
