Asking JotSpot for a date

It is my belief that a client is most likely to ask JotSpot for a date as they will prefer JotSpot’s looks to TikiWiki’s. For a busy client the visual evaluation takes much less time than the evaluation of the functionality. Only trouble is JotSpot costs more to date than TikiWiki.

Asking TikiWiki for a date

It is my belief that our busy clients are less likely to ask TikiWiki for a date, because they won’t have the time necessary to get to know TikiWiki, which is needed to get over the lack of good looks.

It's easier to fix the looks than the functionality, so I think we're in a good position here. But we have to make it easier for people to know they can change the looks, I suppose. And/or provide a better default look, initially.

Looking over the JotSpot site (http://www.jot.com/wiki/wiki.php), maybe it just has a different approach, too, so for any particular user or site, the tool might depend on the way the people want things to work. I think we should learn new ways where it makes sense, and make the most of what we can do with our own tools.
