Interoperability with the other popular scheduling
apps
might help a lot - but beware what happened when the
IM
world tried that. (Companies changing the specs
withoutbnotice, specifically to reject competitors'
compatible products. A good reverse-engineering team,
monitoring the latest releases of and patches for,
that
which you want to be compatible with would help.) If
you could pull this off, though, that could easily get
your foot in the door - or, at least, convince
competitors to adopt the same features. (Extropic
goal
met, even if the business would probably only earn
minor profits at best.)
