In addition to Travis' excellent points;
1) Please let me (product manager) know which add-ins you use. I'll try to take another survey as I have done in the past. The reason - I try to get the functionality of widely used contributed items considered for addition to the product. 2) Alan has quoted experienced sources on this matter; to paraphrase: "To go from a working example to supported production code may require 10x the time and resource to do so" Regards Arden Arden Thomas Cincom Smalltalk Product Manager 845 296 0686 Cincom Smalltalk - It makes hard things easier, the impossible, possible "Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication" - Leonardo Da Vinci On Feb 17, 2012, at 2:57 PM, Travis Griggs wrote:

Let me clarify what I think Bob is referring to about contributing to the Cincom Smalltalk code base in the VWDev program;
First, if you are testing a feature in development and discover issues with your valid use of it (and report it, code fix optional) that contributes by making sure our released code works with your (customer) needs. Also we do "partnered development" on a case by case basis, with customers, for some features. For example, if three customers need the new "xyz" protocol available, and can commit to timely testing, we will work with those customers to make sure the protocol works for their needs (sometimes unique). This is a real win-win; the customer knows it will work for them when it is released, and Cincom knows it will work for our customers needs. Both these scenarios could have parts of customer contributed code used, or the code can influence the solution, or be used as a starting point to contribute to the product level solution.
