Ive been posting this around and am looking for
feedback on this.
My associates and I have targetted this as an
application that people seem to have an interest in,
so much to the point they are willing to purchase a
good copy of it.
The linux version is ok, quite a nice hack job. We
are trying to get a feel for who would be interested
in a Java Version, either indedepent, or run via a
browser.
There are a couple of obstacles we've encountered,
first being the source for libEQ.a, but some
resourceful solutions have been found for that. We
plan on letting the guru's here keep up their good
work on the libEQ.a, that seems to be the majority of
the work. We simply interface to the library through
a gateway we've written. We figure we can host
several gateway machines that your box can connect.
This way, a linux, mac and even windows version can be
easily implemented. A leaner version is being worked
on by disassembling the libEQ.a file, but our initial
test shows that a server is capable of handing several
thousand connections at a time to the libEQ.a library.
With that little brief. We are trying to estimate the
volume of people who would be intersted in purchasing
a subscription to a JShowEQ product. Our pricing
model would probably be a monthy recurring fee of
maybe $5, depending on the response. The recurring
fee would be necessary because as past test have
shown, once an easily viable solution is out there for
the EQ users, VI tends to change their coding
structure. This means more work for the guys who are
doing the libEQ.a file and a little work for us to
modify our gateway to interface with their library.
We could probably expect changes several times a week
from VI.
Let's hear your feedback on this.
Cheers
