Welcome to your new HomePage! Minimize
This is your page, and you can do what you like to it! For example, if you don't like this message, erase it!

Here are some ideas for your webpage:

  • Store your favorite links so that you have them all in one place for easy access
  • Display your favorite holiday snaps
  • Start your own blog
Hover here, then click toolbar to edit content

Editing your page is easy! Your webpage has 2 modes - an Edit mode and a Preview mode. When you are in Edit mode you will see the basic layout of the website. You will notice that all your modules have little 'Edit' icons on them so that you can change their content. Whilst this is useful, you may prefer to see how your page will look in real life, so open the Control Panel and click on Preview button. You will notice the icon changes and you can now close the Control Panel and use your webpage.

The only thing you do have to be careful with is understanding the security around a module. For example, if you edit the security details and remove the rights to view the module, it will disappear, so be careful when tinkering with the more advanced settings. Having said that though, you could always add another module, so it's not the end of the world! This help text is stored in the Header and Footer of this module.

To show someone your page, copy the URL in your browser above and send it to them (assuming they have the correct rights to see it).

There is a very interesting proposal/debate going on on the Smart-Thinker Forums regarding the leveraging of multiple customer's buying power to pay for Sponsored Enhancements (Crowdsourcing) to increase the Smart-Thinker productivity output.

 

The basic idea is that a list of estimates is done for all major feature requests. Customers can then "bid" to sponsor a feature and have a say in the specification and requirements for the feature. When the full amount for the project is reached and the majority of project sponsors agree on the spec and deliverables then the enhancement is developed. The majority once again must sign it off for it to be accepted. The full detail of the proposal can be found here.

 

If this is successful the base Smart-Thinker social networking product suite could become free to everyone and revenue would be derived from sponsored enhancements. In the future it may even be possible for other module developers to pick up Sponsored Enhancements and develop them and give them back to Smart-Thinker for inclusion in the core product line. Customers get their enhancements at a low cost, developers get remunerated for their work and our core code line improves constantly.

 

Please comment on that thread if you are interested in this or have anything to add.
