Yo Adrian,

Don’t worry - as you will already have seen, the world is divided into those who by default and as a result, no doubt, of bitter childhood experiences, impute the most cynical motives to software developers, and those who - like myself - enormously appreciate the difficult battle any independent developer faces to get his/her software recognised, used and possibly even very slightly profitable.

How much more difficult that battle becomes when the software concerned is, like Gingko, a genuinely unusual concept that is breaking new ground and consequently testing the developer’s conceptual prowess to the limit!

For example, I have no idea how you’ll handle exports, and dare to venture that you’re probably pondering exactly how you’ll do it, too. So in short, I salute you, and admire your flexible pricing model, which is really quite a neat way of dialoguing with your users. And dialogue is the name of the (successful developer’s) game - just look at the respect people like Pierre (InfoCube) have built up by their readiness to discuss both the strengths and the weaknesses of their software models.

In short, bravo! We’re almost all watching Gingko with enormous interest. Personally, I love the little keyboard hints that pop up in the latest version - what a good idea.

Big personal hint: search should definitely be your next priority, even above exporting… ;-)

Best wishes,
Bill
