2010 04 15 Update: After reading this post you might think that we stopped developing at all. This is not true! We suspended all active developement of New Features, yet are are doing FULL SUPPORT of existing system, fixing bugs, managing ATM's, etc.. We believe the system is quite capable already to help you increase your sales across the grid.

Doing business in Second Life - is quite a ride! Same applies to metaLIFE team as well..
metaLIFE was born - because of a need to create something helpfull for the community! We saw areas that needed improvement and went ahead to improve them! I firmly believe all our tools (metaVENDOR, metaHUD, metaVOTER) are usefull to certain extent.
Yet we are well aware of the works that need our attention, things need improvements!
And the TO DO LIST got pretty big! As we told you - we will be going out to do some work, to make the metaLIFE continuation possible at all! Well we have done those side jobs, got ourselves into some medium sized projects.
Lots of you have voiced your opinion, that we have left the platform to it'self. To certain extent - we did, because we feel that the platform is ready to work on it's own without our large input, and it does work, people are making Real money via metaLIFE. Yet the fact remains - metaLIFE in order to continue to provide superior service - needs improvements!
At the moment we can hardly see us implementing all the features you need us to implement. Also we can hardly see ourselves doing all the active work with the community... But we are open for any of yoru suggestions/offers!
Call to action:
1. If you have ideas how to improve metaLIFE, maybe what steps to take to make it the highest quality service provider in SL (when we talk about virtual commerce) then please speak up, tell us!
2. If you want to help with:
- programming/system development/open source project development
- Community development
- Managing/overseeing the whole operation
- Improving certain aspects of metaLIFE services!
- etc..
IF you want to become part of the metaLIFE team, if you want to participate in metaLIFE from inside (behind the curtains) - then please contact me here: Robbie.Kiama [et] gmail.com
