Market drupal for sale or as open source free
software?
It is amazing how many niches we could
target.
I.E.
clubs, government, real estate, mortgage, small
business.
A multi media platform positioned to replace
television and radio.
Gee, let us integrate VOIP and CRM, voice XML,
accounting, and web casting.
Let us explore new and innovative ways of
delivering content to the end user.
Cell phones, personal readers, Etc.
Did you know the concept of Open Source is not very
widely understood in the business community? People just don't have time
to grasp the concept.
People have heard of Lynyx and the stories behind
that saga.
But, many people still don't get it.
Do you think their IT staff is telling them?
Heck no!
It seems to be some type of trade
secret.
Not once did one of my IT guys say:
"Hey, you know you can load a practically turnkey
website right now and it won't cost you an arm and a leg. It is not
only a web site, but a platform you can grow your business on for a
long time.
If I had tried to get a bid on my project, it would
run into the thousands of dollars!
Catch my drift?
It is phreaken amazing!
If I understood what this was all about ten years
ago, I would be a wealthy man.
If only I realized that I could have built a
practically free platform using voice xml five years ago. All I would have
needed is dialogic cards and a development platform from IBM. And...
it was free free free.
Sorry, I don't mean to make this all about
business. I am just envious of the folks who were ten years ahead of
me.
And, I thought I new alot about
computers.
So, what do you mean by marketing?
business or education?
I guess I still don't exactly understand how Open
Source Software survives and flourishes.
I am awed.

Would anyone be interested in doing a brainstorming session on a full
list of features and/or uses of drupal? From there I would like to boil
that list down to some real benefits of the product and come up with ways to
market the product based on those.
A good place to start would be to look at the Admin Help that has been
written. The first paragraph of 60 of the more popular modules contains
user benefits.
