All sounds good to me.

I agree with
Mike on using "Promotion" or "Conference Special"
instead having a "Sale". I would also try to answer
the key question on the Eclipse plugin provider's mind on how we plan
to promote this special. They are more likely to react to
conference push to get the word out. Asking them to promote this
special on the plugin provider web site almost defeats the
incentive.

promote the special.
Lastly, the
"Offer a coupon or unique url on EPIC that allows the potential
buyer to qualify for a discounted price." instruction leaves a
lot of implementation questions on how we will facilitate the
process. We need to provide more details or at least suggest
that more implementation details will follow based on their interest.
I personally think logistics details on the part of the plugin
providers will be the biggest obstacle for this effort and
most likely reason for them to turn it down.

that. He thinks he can add a new free text field on each
plug-in page. The provider would then need to populate
that field with the directions on how to get the special prices.
So for EPIC I think the implementation will be simple, however, I do
see your point about the add-in provider.
- Make sure that if a
provider has several products they can only list one or two or
whatever, but not necessarily all, of those they have on EPIC. For
example, we might want to do a WindowBuilder promotion, but not do one
for CodePro.

a short list, so the plug-ins get more visibility. This is
why I was limiting it to 10 products. How about we say a company
can have maximum 2 products included.
