interesting idea. I wanted to have a maximum of transparency, and a
minimum of links to the commercial site, moving the feature list
would require such a link, given the understandable interest of the
community: "I have heard about this feature, is it community or
enterprise?" So I felt this is the most open, accessible way of
dealing with it.<br>
<br>
If moving the feature matrix is requested by mentor and OSGeo, we
would do it with a corresponding hint, so I am curious about
opinions.<br>

<div style="">I note that balancing a "community edition" vs a
"commercial bundle" is fairly difficult. The past couple weeks
has seen functionality from <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://opengeo.org/products/suite/buy/">OpenGeo Suite</a>
and <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://geoserver.geo-solutions.it">GeoSolutions</a>
donated to the community to prevent duplication of effort.</div>

Indeed, this we have done in the past (cf WMS support), and will do
so in future as well.<br>

see above, I have concerns - but I may be wrong.<br>

<div style="">The other thing to consider is when the community
creates functionality that is not needed in a commercial
bundle. Perhaps it does not meet QA, documentation, or
operational standards? Or simply does not solve a problem of
interest to your customers.</div>

<br>
hm, we gladly accept contributions, but only if the meet QA we have
established in the open-source project. I would not want to give up
what we have achieved in terms of quality. <br>
It's also a matter of keeping things simple I believe.<br>
<br>
my 2 cents,<br>

<br>
as I sensed some sentiments about our dual license model
in the recent past I have tried to clarify this by way of
the following text at [1]:<br>
<br>
<p> <i><strong>Contributions</strong></i><i> to the
rasdaman community code come from a worldwide team of
collaborators. Notably, a significant extent of the
fixes and new functionality is coming from rasdaman
GmbH (such as WMS recently). </i><i><strong>All
community contributions submitted are made available
in rasdaman community immediately after checking
them for correctness and coherence (eg, with the
code guide); no contribution whatsoever goes into
rasdaman enterprise first</strong></i><i>. The only
action the company undertakes is to keep both rasdaman
variants in sync by merging the rasdaman community
tree into rasdaman enterprise, which typically occurs
upon release of versions so as to keep both in sync.
Aside from that, rasdaman enterprise is developed
exclusively by the company and does not contain any
community code that rasdaman community does not
contain. So rest assured that your valuable
contributions are to the benefit of the worldwide user
community. </i></p>
Is this understandable? Anything missing?<br>
<br>
All comments are most welcome.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
Peter<br>
