texte = Ken, i think WebDNA is far superior than PHP, because it is far easier to learn. Sophisticated websites are now common, but expensive to build, and "normal" users or low skills webmasters cannot build it themselves wth php (or asp). WebDNA is not much more complicated than html, and much easier than JavaScript, not speaking of java. Marketing? not sure PHP or MySQL ever did any marketing. I think there is room for WebDNA. chris On Mar 30, 2006, at 12:03, Kenneth Grome wrote: >> What about creating a small partnership all together, as we all >> believe in the superiority of WebDNA, buying WebDNA to Smith Micro >> and starting an efficient marketing based on much lower prices and >> broader distribution? the idea would be to compete with PHP. > > This won't work because you couldn't get anywhere near enough > people to invest the funds needed to buy it off SMSI even if they > were willing to sell it for a measly $50,000.
