OK, I've tried to answer some of the comments, but have very limited time now - will try to answer others shortly.

In general, just a few points:

- Green thing will not and should not push any conditions or requisites for getting or keeping a license. We're trying to ease and simplify licensing, instead.

- We're adding lots of new features and some mods will become obsolete, but we're not copying and are not going to copy or buy others' works. Dolphin is going to grow naturally, according see more to feature suggestions and market trends.

- We'll be providing everything possible to minimize upgrading troubles.

- Time frames are NOT defined now. It can happen anytime from 2 weeks to 2 months. Every time I get the next build - I have to order yet another round of changes - too many things to fix and re-write. Moreover, we're trying to change the approach - instead of rushing out a raw version - we want you to start testing an already stable product. I hope for and rely on your patience and support. It's a huge update, the biggest we ever had, yet we're trying our best and we will show a early alpha very soon, and then we'll talk :)

Hello Andrew :-)

In my humble opinion (IMHO), here are the main points you should reconsider:

- ergonomics (users often are lost while browing a Dolpin site - missing links in several pages which could allow the user to return to the profile he/she is browing, dead end )

- templates system (code that affect template is dispersed in too many files outside the templates folder)

- members pages customization could be easily improved (see my mod http://www.expertzzz.com/Downloadz/view/4454)

- see more languages files (more than a single english language file is needed - spanish, portuguese, french, chinese, russian...)

IMHO these are basic features Dolphin/Orca/Ray has to come with...

As for me I agree with you about not to focus on any time frame but about the stability of the script ;-)

Boonex can best make a difference by swallowing its pride and not trying to reinvent the idea of starting a green community. Use your product - community software - to support pre-existing Green Communities and Green Businesses exactly how Zaadz is used by Whole Foods and Gaiam to power http://www.gaia.com/. I've checked, and the following sites look like they would benefit from your software and are not so established that they could not make a change: http://www.2people.org/, http://www.greenbusiness.net/, see more http://outforaride.com/, and http://www.veggiecommunity.org/. http://www.fixingtheplanet.com/ is built around their forums, but if you offered to help them migrate, they might bite. I don't know how involved you'd like to become in politics, but if the software works then it would be a great platform to build grassroots communities around, like Greenpeace and Green Parties.
