No, not for the President :) but for Firebolt.
What I want to do is get a feel for how you want your Firebolt service delivered. As I have previously said, it will come in 2 forms: Hosted Solution, and a Downloadable Solution. I know some of you will be using Firebolt for multiple sites, your's and your client's.

But which one would you rather have, or are more likely to use?


The Basics of the 2 types:

Hosted Solution = You get your own FTP accounts and databases, and Firebolt is pre-installed for you. You will never have to update Firebolt when a new version comes out, its automatic.

Downloadable Solution = You install Firebolt yourself on your own machine. You must install updates as they come out.

Thanks so much everyone, more Firebolt updates coming soon! Screenshots maybe before the end of the month :)

Peace,
Drew

I'm with Ian, i think having a CMS that you can control and host yourself would be the better option. Can't wait to see screen shots!

Also, on http://www.valioinc.com/ you've got a typo on the last sentence, it reads "This what we do: " should be "This is what we do: "

keep up the great work!

I would like it available as both because I would like to get my host to install it. (Dreamhost). I would like to install it locally as far as I know also though. Very interested in your work, great look, feel, experience, etc...

Ian,
Good point, and that is exactly why I am conducting this poll. To see what people want.
My intention with the Hosted Solution will be to partner up with Media Temple, so you would really be getting great hosting support and control. Thanks so much for your feedback!

Everyone,
Thanks so much for your feedback in the poll! It helps tons for the development of Firebolt!

Peace,

Ian Gordon Says,
A downloadable solution would seem to make the most sense, unless the file architecture was so expansive or the manner of data storage was so proprietary that a hosted solution would have to be used. I think in general when it comes to content management people like to retain as much control as they possibly can, at least I think that.
