I need to be honest, Open Classifieds is in a huge problem.
We have many downloads, load of work to do, support to offer to you and others and that’s not possible since we don’t get any benefit from the software.
I started this just as an small script and I decided to release it under GPL, I never expected to grow this much.
The problem is that I’m spending many hours in this project and I can’t. I need money to make a living like anyone else. Donations and services are not enough, currently we work on this 3 persons, being me the one who spends the most time in this.
So I don’t want to have 2 different software (1 GPL and other with extra stuff private), I really believe in Open Source and I think that from the services should be enough, but is not.
For me the solution seems to be offering a professional edition that’s not more than few services wrapped in a better price.

This is the last chance to make Open Classifieds work as a business, if doesn’t succeed I will need to stop working as I am doing right now. Is sad but is just like this, I will stop the support and the development for next releases and I will just fix bugs. Hope is not like this, I’m just being realistic 🙁
