@ Andrew Boon

Appreciate your honest admission that at least 1 developer has been designing mods based on members' requests instead of building them into the Dolphin core. It has renewed my faith in your vision and administration.

Many wonderful features, like allowing for recurring payments, were lost from D6 to D7, and these need to be reincorporated. Numerous members have posted their frustrations to no avail, wondering if anyone was listening. Other features are sorely needed. It seems see more ridiculous that there is no membership action to allow for selling to the public. Plus, making it easy for members to sell tangible goods would not only increase their profitability from the sites they've worked so hard to build and maintain, but also bring additional Boonex customers to your door.

It is sad that a developer's dismissal, especially someone who has contributed so much to the project and is clearly respected by many, was required for you to be able to move forward. Now, it seems that in your present plan to make the necessary, serious, and substantial revisions to the code you speak of, the potential in 7.1 to bring to reality the important features requested by members truly exists. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I applaud your efforts to shine it.
