I think there should be something, just a short note, about what is in current development on the front welcome page of the website.  It would give first time visitors an idea of what is happening right now.  The "Latest News" section is a good idea.  But, to a first time visitor to the website, it can look like nothing is happening.  There is no news about the current beta.  There should be.  What do you think?

I agree. Last month I sang the praises of DVD Profiler in another forum, only to have a few posters question whether it was an abandoned software since the last update was in the summer, and the one before that a year ago.

I realize if there's no new developments news can't just be invented (although the beta not being on there is certainly a missed opportunity) but I can't help but feel that Ken might be better served by small quarterly updates to the program as opposed to one major one, once a year.

Not only would it give the front page the appearance of relatively recent developments, but it would probably also make for an energized user base if there'd be new updates that often.

Dolly's not alone. You can also clone profiles.

I think even something like the previous weeks stats would show people it the software is active and things are going. 

For example something like:

Last week there was...

XXX New Profiles
XXX New Images
XXX Profile Updates
XXX Image Updates
XXX Forum Posts

Ooooh. I like it! 

I think that alone would go a long way towards showing things are indeed moving behind the scenes.

This is indeed much more relevant than software updates. I would actually get nervous from too many updates. Once a year feels about right.

Personally, I wouldn't think the software was dead unless 2 or more years passed without any updates.

The statistics however, that's a smokin' hot idea!  A total profile count could be a selling point too.

(Edited)

I wouldn't use the forum posts here as a selling point.

A prospective purchaser might have second thoughts if they read the threads in the contribution forum.

I think this is a great idea.
