Som,
First of all this is just my opinion.
#1 - Netgear needs to stop using the same names for different routers. There is a ton of confusion between the various V"x" models. If you want a model that is made for open source porting then name it something else.
#2 - You need to dumb it down in yours and others from Netgear posts. For instance, what the heck is VARs? Stop thinking you are talking to folks that are at the level that you are and talk to the normal user.
#3 - Probably 90% of the users of V8, just want to tweak it so it works better and faster. Have some options that they need and are not into setting it up for a business or to run a huge IS department on it.
#4 - Look at your competition. I for instance, have no desire to replace my WRT54G , running DD-WRT with a Netgear OS router that lacks the ability to do what I can do already and has more memory to do what I need.
At the end of the day, if you are looking for MOR to be the place where business owners, VARs and resellers would be able to post requests for special purpose firmware required for their business. You will lose the public interest.
I don't care either way, but you should look at your business model and then decide if you want to narrow it down to business owners, VARs and resellers. This is small market, are you and Netgear up for that?
