Doing a partnership would be cool. I would definitely be up for doing that (if anyone wants me).
All of the "Gentleman Edition" stuff from Tokyo Dawn Labs appears to be pretty successful for the individual developers.
I guess the trick would be to figure out things like:
- license of source code between developers (e.g., if someone contributes some awesome filter library, are others allowed to use the source for their own stuff)
- How would roles be equally divided, so that...
- Any income would be appropriately divided by what people have contributed and worked on
There would be tons of other stuff like web hosting, website maintenance, blah blah; however, I think those 3 points above are what I always think about when I fantasize about a plugin company that is actually viable.
