September 1 [SoftQuad Inc] announcements? "...The Aug 13 announcements now look as though they will be Sept 1. The only worse time than the first two weeks in August to launch a product are the last two weeks in August. My personal opinion is that yes, these announcements should begin the process. Naturally as we establish strong market positions for our new products, this process should accelerate. I'm not a professional investor, so I can't comment on how our market success factors into realization of shareholder value. > > Second to last, how is HoTMetaL Application Server and Power Partner > Program being received to date? viz a viz sales growth? product reviews? > industry acceptance? the usual [indicator] suspects? HMAPPS and the accompanying Partner Program have been well rec'd. We have been in "chicken test" mode since introduction. The last thing we want to do is create a meaningless program that equates to a mutual exchange of logos at fifty paces. So, to that end, we have very carefully controlled the number of partners we have engaged. Over this period we have continually refined our program and also began testing some customer-base promos with them. This process has been conducted with a view to bring everything together in conjunction with the upcoming announcements. I am sufficiently pleased with results to date to continue this strategy. > Lastly, what do you feel will be the critical mass which [finally?] > launches SoftQuad, Inc? I'm not sure I understand the question. I have a passionate belief in the vision, complete trust in roberto and absolute faith in the technical capabilities of the team. The company has suffered from less than impressive marketing (both product and corporate) in the past. I belive we have most of the ingredients required to be successful. Creative executionwill be the key to achieving our goals..."--J Sachs, VP Marketing, SoftQuad, Inc, Aug. 5. HMAPPS engine alliance miva.com was also supposed to be live at midnight, last night?
