Another one (I mean it serious): The price!

For my opinion it is "too cheap". When I have a look on the feature-requests and on the expectations, I truly believe that Guru is worth more money than all the other LMS. And the others are priced much higher.

I expect you to develop lots of the suggestions, but you don´t have fun on the work if you don´t earn money with it.

So my personal expectation, and I try to be fair to all sides: I would have priced Guru for something about 299$, and in the same moment offering a "hosted version" for somethign like 29$ Monthly.

Maybe limiting a cheaper version by "number of courses" or "number of lessons" to have allowed in. Or another good way: Offering a free GPL-Version which does not allow to process payments and which limits the maximum of courses to 3 and the maximum of lessons in all courses togehter to 30.

This makes the light-version a really nice thing to have for all users with less money and only few users (and requirements), and in the same moment it has a fair price to the "better-situated" persons (like me) that are not afraid to pay some more money, but in the same moment expect the software to be really good.

Honestly, I see three different things to do with Guru:

- Make free courses about hobbies and stuff like that. When a 14-year-old teenager works on a free course to provide skills in photoshop or a "how-to" to upload movies to YouTube, he will not be able to pay 149 Dollars, and he also will not be able to pay 299 Dollars. He would be happy about a "small and limited free version".

In addition to that you can make a "Toplist of free courses" and on a regular basis reward the best free sites/courses with changing that limit on courses (but not the payment-processing). The great thing is: Free courses will attract many people and this will spread guru, that brings benefits to all of us, even for the paying custumers.

- Create Online-Courses, that are only held online, to create income. If somebody is earning money with Guru, he should be able to pay 299 Dollars.

- Create Online-Courses like an "extension" to offline-courses. For example: You have a goal-setting-workshop as a live-workshop, and after the workshop you invite your participants for a free repetitional online-course after the workshop. In this case also ... 299 Dollars is not much money.

So why not raising the price and in the same moment giving the people who deserve it (for contributing free stuff) a chance to work with a good software.

All the best, Julian!
