MarioHi Michael,
yes I know, but the thing here is that being one man orchestra is not always easy and definitely not the best way to attend everything correctly and the problem with this concept is that at the end of the day no one is really happy.
If you don’t want to charge for your plugin and only for the extras which are not, let’s say “strictly needed” to run the plugin, maybe you should think about a more productive way to give support (on you own) and show your product as a really trusting one. Think that most users do not know that you just “let it go” some, for you, obvious questions, for users which come here for the first time and face this way of passive support which you do know and they don’t 🙂
Maybe you should think about implementing a kind of helpdesk which generates a knowledge base as you go, features prewritten answers, work from mobile phone and so on. A good contender could be a service like tenderapp.com which features a forum, helpdesk and knowledge base which can be run mostly on email as well, it is free for open source projects (and just $9 month for single users) and there is also an app for iphone, and works together with lighthouseapp which is a developer oriented helpdesk (I do not work for this guys).
Another thing would be to set a sticky post at the beginning of this forum explaining your “modus operandi” for new comers (like me) about the way you give support here and another announcing the latest version.
Thanks for taking my comments into account.
My 2¢
Cheers
MarioForum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Woothmes or Themeforest ?I also use Woocommerce and bought Kriesi theme and I have Canvas theme from WooCommerce as well.
Kriese theme features a powerful and simple framework, especially if you like Slideshows or build complex pages since you have what they call Dynamic Templates. Where you actually can mix different contents of different pages in one Dynamic Template and reuse content automatically in different pages builds you make, it is like a kind of “Lego” where you just take parts and build a page.
Also it integrates BBpress Forum and the Product Page features a Slideshow, something I have not seen in any other theme.
They guys in the kriesi website are very supportive through their forum. All in all I find the Kriesi themes really elegant, dynamic and powerful.
Woothemes on the other side IMHO are less elegant than other themes I have seen and the support of the Woo team is slow and lacking, there have been a lot of complains among their user base, so many that they have written announcement a few days ago saying that they are building a new support system (on Zendesk) to improve their support attending the complains from their customers for such a poor customer service.
On the other side the wooteam updates their framework and themes on regular bases, monthly or even weekly, something you don’t easily see on other developers. I’ll use both thems, Kriesi and Woo in different projects and see how it goes.
Thanks for your replay,
another question, once WP is installed and I want then to import the entries from pMachine into WP would it also work with both WP and pMaching using the same database?
Thanks
Mario
