HAPPY DREAMS !!

Martin,

Good luck with your new venture. Moodle.com. I'm pretty sure that if you are dedicated, just like with Moodle.org, your company will have great succes.

I fully agree with you, that you shouldn't 'push' the offered commercial services in the discussions of Moodle.org. Keep it clear and isolated. However, the open discussions in Moodle.org, and your achievements, can be like a "show case" for potential customers. Let them wander around. Invite them to do a free course etc. At this moment there might be some potential customers around here.

As regards your "commercial services" offered on Moodle.com, you might want to be a little more specific. I know, I know, you just started, so you might not have an overview of all the services. Before I wrap up, as I said, let's not talk a lot about "business" here, let me tell you what I think about:

Possible services                            

1. Set up and host a complete learning environment (the project is managed fully via the net). Progress reports, interactions with the customers etc are all available within Moodle.

Your value added: not everyone wants to go into the hassles of setting up a php server, mysql database etc. They might not even have the knowledge to do it.

Customer: schools, companies, etc.

2. Specific customization and development of Moodle.

Customers: schools, companies etc. who already have Moodle installed or another learning environment, but who wants extra functionality to be developed.

These are only two services.

Let me know what you think.

All the best Martin!!

Given your track record Moodle.Com will fly high.

Suggestion  1.  create a FAQ forum

    Thanks much--Dave

Best of luck with this much needed venture

Martin,

1. I have some specific questions about the possibility of doing certain things - mostly relating to customization of Moodle, and how it would be managed. Should I post here, or by private email?

2. Where is the server, and where (what country) is the legal address of the company the contract would be with?
