Hi,

Some module developers I talk with are reporting that their Q1 sales are down 20% to 30% compared to last year.

I wonder if this is why?

The current DNN Corp model:
"We are going to make lots of money with great technology":  http://vimeo.com/21670692
versus the Apple model:
"People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it."  http://ow.ly/4q9xF

Since the economic viability of DNN is in all of our interest, I'd like to know what other people think.  Maybe some good ideas from the ground up might help.

Thanks,
Chris

I hear you!

We have seen a 40-50% drop over last year, not in company revenue, business is booming, but in "DNN general interest". Signups on site are down, and generally the buz is down.

Personally I believe a goal is vital for a platform like DNN, and not one that is "Lets be rich!".

Like the video posts. Thanks!
