Open Source X5 - More features  en

Hello Incomedia!

I think I have a great idea for you. I read post almost every day, and I have noticed that a lot of users are waiting for some updates/features that they really need, or would like X5 to contain, but nothing ever happens, and when you finally get an update ready, it's not that big of an update at all...

My idea is:

Make Website X5 open source, or at least some of the code opensource. So that we users, can programm apps/modules, fitting the Website X5 Version 9.

This way I could easily make an feature that alot of other users could use/would like. I don't know excatly how Incomedia would make money this way, but sure you could charge for buying Website X5 as always, and then make a marketplace at Answers.websitex5.com, where you charge money for the features/apps, the same way as you do for the templates.

Then I, for example, could upload a feature, with description and pictures, you X5 guys would approve it, and then I could set a price for the module, lets say 10 Euro, and then you X5 guys could charge 30 % in handlefees pr. download.

I know there would be ALOT of work to make this possible for the Website X5, because you properly would have to rewrite alot of code, making the "adding features" feature possible. But PLEASE!! Consider this oppertunity! I am very satisfied with website x5, and only want it to get better, so I don't need to use any 3. part software ever again!

Thank you

Regards, Henrik

If the oppertunity to write customized modules becomes active, then Yes! Quite easy actually. But it is really up to the X5 guys to decide.
