SobiPro Templating How To…
Monday, June 20th, 2011I am not against anyone making money from their great work and the developers of SobiPro are no exception. However I do believe that if you are providing a solution that is supposedly for free that it comes with some basic documentation on how to use the product. However to access this basic documentation a ‘club’ membership is required which I feel is wrong, but that is only my view, yours may be different. During my use of SobiPro I have been compiling a list of how to references on using the SobiPro Template framework and the template language (XSL) used.
UPDATE: Yesterday I decided to trial a Club Membership and bought a 1 month membership to see what the documentation was like, and to be honest I was pleasantly surprised and really do believe that a 1 or 3 month membership is worth it as the documentation is very good. It fills the gap between what I already knew and what I have been trying to work out. So if you can afford a single months membership I suggest you get it, or better yet a 3 month membership. The only thing that they need to consider adding is an upgrade path from a Bronze to Silver to Gold which I think will assure ongoing payments by users as they notice the true value of the documentation.
