[mapguide-users] web studio help!

[Andy Morsell]

Yes, I really disliked that sales strategy since I was often recommending to
my MapGuide Open Source customers that they buy Autodesk Studio.  That
approach by customers was probably one of the primary reasons for Autodesk's
rationale and they also needed some way to further separate MapGuide
Enterprise from MapGuide Open Source - so I get it from that standpoint even
though it sucks for us in some ways.

Kenneth has done an amazing job with Maestro, however, and I think the
community should continue to support him in any way possible with the future
development and enhancement of that package.

We were very, very disappointed in Autodesk once again. A little-strong arm
if you ask me. Especially for those of us who had Studio from the get-go.
Maybe we should all work on cloning a few Kenneth Skovhedes'?  ;-)

That's an interesting view of paying thousands of dollars when you only want
a license of Autodesk Studio to work with MapGuide Open Source......

I would rather see Autodesk make Studio available as a stand-alone product
again at a reasonable IDE price and then have people contribute any
remaining money directly to the MapGuide Open Source project.  That way we
KNOW those funds will be used for that project and that project only.

Studio is available for MGOS, you just need to take out a subscription for
mapguide enterprise which bundles studio, which is in effect sponsoring
the bulk of the mapguide / fdo project developers and plus gets you
access to autodesk support...
