Re: Third-parties late releasing for XSI...

["Thomas Helzle" <xsi(at)screendream.de>]

Christine,

yes, I think I understood what you were saying in your mails.
But I don't know if it is the right attitude to attract developers.

At least I know that it is nothing that is attracting me.

Why not just relax?
Let it flow?
Let developers develop whatever they can imagine?
And leave the decision about commercial plugins to the market and the users?
What do you have to loose?
What are you protecting from what?

Cheers,

Thomas Helzle
