The purpose of the Made with REALbasic (MwRb) program is to promote the products created using REALbasic and the people who create those products. The program is a cooperative effort between the users of REALbasic and REAL Software, Inc. There will be at least two vehicles for promotion: listing the users’ products and information about them (including links to the developers’ sites) on the REALbasic website and through inclusion on the REALbasic CD-ROM.
Of course, it will be reciprocal! REAL Software asks that any product created using REALbasic use the MwRb logo in their splash screen or about box, on their website, and use the phrase "Made with REALbasic" in descriptions of the product in press releases and announcements.
Developers who meet these criteria will be regarded as "Premier" Made with REALbasic Partners. Premier Partners can expect a listing in the Premier Partner section of the REALbasic website. This section will list the products, a link to the developers’ websites, a description of the product, room for links to reviews, and room for the logo of the product. The goal is to have a deluxe presence for the developers’ product. Their products will also be eligible to be included on other CD-ROMs REAL Software participates in (these include magazines, Apple CD-ROMs, and more) as space allows. REAL Software also asks that Premier Partners provide one license to their Made with REALbasic products to REAL Software for testing purposes.
Should the developer elect to not include the MwRb logo on their website, in their splash screen or about box, on their website, and use the phrase "Made with REALbasic" in descriptions of the product but instead only link to the REAL Software, Inc. website from their site will be regarded as "Select" Made with REALbasic Partners. Select Partners will be eligible to have a brief description of their product in the Select Partner section of the REALbasic website along with a link to their site. Select Partners will also have the opportunity to purchase space on the REALbasic CD-ROM for their products.
The third tier of REALbasic developers (others) are those that have no link to the REAL Software website or other indications that their product was created using REALbasic. There will be a third section with the name of the product as a link to the developers’ sites. They will be ineligible for CD-ROM space.
Visitors to the REALbasic website will view the MwRb products by browsing by category or by searching. In either case, the products will be listed in order of Partner level then alphabetically within the Partner level.
REAL Software, Inc. will also list the other products developed for use with REALbasic such as plugins, classes, stationary, tutorials, and frameworks. These will also be listed by category and partner level. These partners will be divided into Premier and Select Partner classes. There will be no "others".
We will also promote solutions providers to help REALbasic software developers to connect with customers needing custom programming and the like.
Please review the standards for how the Made with REALbasic™ logo may be displayed, regarding both size, color depth, and acceptable background arrangement.
You can submit your Made with REALbasic products using REAL Software, Inc.'s website at <http://www.realbasic.com/mwrb/Partners/enroll.html>.
