Anahita™ Social Networking Engine 1.5 Birth release now available for download

We survived another week of sleep deprivation. Thank goodness for the organic coffee!

We are going to have many good news for you in 2011 and here is the first one. The Anahita™ social networking engine 1.5 Birth release codename Ambrosia is now available to the Anahitapolis™ paid members for download. This is the package that is stable enough to be used for starting your social networking project and we will officially be supporting it from now on.

Anahitapolis.com is currently powered using the latest release of Anahita™.

  Congrats! Great work.
  
  Your last statement makes me really curious. Which app do you intend to release within the next 7-10 days? Please let us know! This could be quite important for recent decisions.
  
  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Guys
  
  Congratulation.
  
  Will Anahita ever be released to public or not? If yes when (next year or in a few months)?
  
  If it will be released to public, will it be free or commercial and if it is going to be commercial how much will it cost?

  @Falky Thank you! It is a good app. Just wait and see
  
  @John thank you very much!
  
  @Sammy Thank you! Eventually yes. I cannot tell you when though. Just follow the updates and you will know.

  Hello Rastin, here -> http://blog.anahitapolis.com/2010/11/anahita-social-engine-alpha3-is-now-available-to-the-tribe-of-partners/#comment-2380 you said Anahita Alpha 3 will be released to public one beta/stable is released to members so the question is now that Anahita stable has been released to members when will Anahita alpha 3 be release to public?

  @Edwin yes it will be released when we do the next product announcement.

  @Rastin, but that is not what you said, $500 a year is a lot of money, I can not afford your product for that price and now have to wait God knows how long for another product announcement just to get access to Alpha 3, if from beginning you hadn’t mentioned public availability of the product I would have bought JomSocial but now that have played with alpha 1 I am eagerly waiting for next version but it never sees the light of day, maybe you could offer a $50 to $100 price range version for user who can’t afford $500.

  @Edwin Anahita Social Networking Engine only provides the basics and doesn’t come with photos, discussions, groups, projects, and other apps. We are giving away the Alpha3 release because we are no longer supporting it. It is a good example for hobbyists who would like to see how a NGS architecture is implemented.
  
  The annual fee is not for the software. It is for access to the Anahitapolis resources. One year supply of Social Networking Engine code, all the apps, support groups, projects, etc.

  HI, congratulation for your work, but I don’t understand, i read it should be released for free

  @pippo sorry mate. It is free as liberty not free as free beer!

  Well you are getting a few kickbacks on the $500 a year pricing. Its a shame it is so expensive particularly when a lot of us having following the project since it started in the hope we could at last get a quality social network. I believe you would get more customers and more revenue if you provided a range of subscriptions for a range of periods rather than just one subscription model. Your finance person needs to have a rethink while we are still around and before we go off and put our cash into a lesser product like Jomsocial or similar.Good luck anyway.

  @John we haven’t officially started selling subscriptions yet, that is yet to come. The partner program was an option for companies and people who were genuinely interested in the project from early days and wanted to support it. Some of our clients and partners have contributed a lot more than the basic fee to make sure this project happens and we are very thankful to them.

  Thanks for clarifying things Rastin. I hope your reply gets to a wider audience as there is no doubt that Anahita has been keenly anticipated since it first started and the news that you have yet to look at subscriptions will be well received. Regards.
