I want wiki-style functionality. Hyperlinks and everything. Tooltip popups. I don't particularly care if the magazines are compiled or not. Never really made much of a difference to me. I want tags to be attached to all of the articles so that filters can be applied in order for easy searching to be done: Class, race, Campaign Setting, weapon, spell, background, adventure, monsters, level, dungeon/urban/wilderness... That sort of thing, so that I can look for a L5 dungeon with stirgesOh yeah.iTunes-model storefront for DDI. There need to be three levels to the store.Tier 1 - WotC releases and featured products.Tier 2 - WotC affiliates (This would be 3pps and freelancers who have been noticed by WotC to consistently put out good work. They have previously worked on a WotC project.)Tier 3 - Everyone else.There would of course be a ranking system, etc. The prices of the content could be limited by Tier unless exception given by WotC.Frex - I (nobody with no publishing credits) release something on the store, I am limited to a top price of $10 and end up in Tier 3.[MENTION=82885]Matt James[/MENTION] or [MENTION=47921]pamenard[/MENTION] (well known freelancers) release something. They are limited to a top price of $20 and end up in Tier 2.WotC releases what they want, price it what they want, it ends up in Tier 1.Monte Cook releases Ptolus via DDI Marketplace - Goes to Tier 1 and he can set the price he wants.</blockquote>
