[jl-volunteers] Important question - JLCP - Product vs. Service

[Igor S. <ig...@vi...>]

Matthew, Team,

I would like to bring up one question to see is there is a general 
agreement. I think this is an important question because it impacts a 
great deal many choices we are making plus what we are focusing on. The 
question is: Is our main goal is to create a service(portal) that our 
community will use or the main goal is to create a piece of software 
that others can use on their site. IMHO, those are very different goals 
and questions like application footprint, tier architecture, easy 
installation and others would have different value in both cases.

The way I see it - we create the service first of all. Yes, our software 
is free(beer/freedom) and anybody can take advantage it, but it's the 
online community collaboration place/market place we are really after.

Cheers,
igor
