Will there be a new version out reasonably soon?  I don't know what will be included, but I am anxious for it to include remebering the last memo used, instead of just going back to the home memo.

Is acrowiki a very secondary priority to pdaabs?

Please acrocat, tell us whether you intend to do anything more with this product.

And, if you don't, please sell it to someone who might.

Thanks, M.

Originally posted by Acrocat Thanks for your interest!  Unfortunately, we're not free disclose future product plans, but we do appreciate that folks are looking forward to new versions of AcroWiki and we do have new features planned, based on the Wish List and other topics.

By not disclosing such plans, you are treating your community of users like a foreign entity.  You should embrace your community of users, since they are providing much constructive feedback in the face of an apparent lack of product release, and therefore are obviously quite enthusiastic about AcroWiki.

I'm sure that if you disclosed at least some of your plans, and were more active in following up feature requests (where's the feature request poll you promised in June 2005 to post?), you'd get more enthusiasm from your community of users.  I'm keen to join that community, since I like AcroWiki, but if it appears to be unsupported then I will be reluctant to spend my hard-earnt money on it.

I was asked by a colleague the other day about purchasing a new PDA and/or smartphone, and should he go Windows or Palm, and can he get some sort of interlinking document editing system.  I remembered AcroWiki and decided to revisit it to see if it would be suitable (for him and for me).  I have found some shortcomings in the software, but nothing too serious.  My biggest concern is lack of new releases, as this implies lack of support.

I hope that my feelings are wrong (as your recent return to the forums may indicate), and that a new release (even minor) is just around the corner, as I'm keen to purchase and use AcroWiki as soon as a couple of minor problems on my Treo 650 are solved (see my posts in http://www.acrocat.com/bbs/forum_posts.asp?TID=375 for some additional info).

And given the fact that you cannot be bothered, after two weeks, to respond, I can only conclude that you are misserving yourselves and your customers. The fact that you have no messages for 6 months in your beta forum is further testement.

Acrocat has a good foothold in the PDA fitness market. With this it seems it does not need, care or have the ability to serve the wiki market.

So it should not bother. My advice - for what its worth - is that AcroWiki, has more value in the marketplace than it has in your firm. I suggest, Acrocat, that you divest by selling it to another vendor before lack of action further damages the Acrocat name.

Hmmm... not sure I follow your rationale... if it was a great product for you even with som shortcomings, why would not getting an update to a product that works cause you to stop using it?

We've got a list of things to-do and a list of things that we've almost got complete, but please feel free to share your ideas so we can see where they fit in with what we are doing.
