Hey, that was my idea! :D
Yes, you published this idea as first on the GT forum.
I just opened a thread for it, as there wasn't such thread with subject, yet Cool

On the other hand, like I already mentioned in another post, they would have the Perl community at large to assist with development in the form of patches and general feedback and discussion. Look at modules like DBI, Class::DBI, HTML::Template, Template-Toolkit, etc. They are all thriving with active development and community support.

In my opinion[1] GT would end up with more business out of it.
I absolutely aggree with that opinion.

Also content your full post is something I can aggree with.

Personally, I’ve started using other modules (from CPAN) to fill the gap. I use CGI::Application as a framework for most of my projects now.
Well, I believe that if you own a Links SQL license, you can fully use GT modules for your personal projects.
If you work for a client, you can buy a Links SQL license for $450 for the client, and add your development work using the GT library for your development price. That's a legal way, I think.

If you want to save the $450 cost for client development, then yes, you must stick to free CPAN modules, like CGI::Application, DBI, and HTML::Template.

I will bet that you will see a big increase in forum activity when the new releases start coming out.
That always happens like this. For a while at least. Then fallback to inactivity happens.
This means, existing users are watching the GT Announce forum, but unfortunately this also means, that there are not appearing too much new users.

And this is a big problem, IMHO.
