Maybe if only there is more examples for what and how we could use some options, this would be better. There are many options I don't use (categories, books for example) because at the moment I don't know for what I would use them.
Headers also was unused for long time, but then I discovered how useful they are. Headers are really excellent and if new headers would enable many places to place them, having more than one header with different permissions, this would made them most useful besides wiki part.
I suggest that in manual are also usage possibilities, for what something is good for (and you could ask us, customers, for what we use it), what we could have with certain parts of VW. When people know what they could use VW for, they would want it much more. This of course would generate more sale. But people should know for what they could use it. Now people think that VW is just wiki, but it is much more and could be used in much more ways.
Lite version should have only basic wiki, just to let people see how it looks like, and full product (only one version, as it is much more difficult to have more versions as Pegasus already said) could have it all. For price, maybe two options, lower price up front ($100), but having higher annual renewal cost for new versions ($50) or need to purchase new versions, and higher price up front, with lower annual renewal (or completely without it).
But, I'm thinking, the biggest problem is having money at first. If some site is successful it's easy to pay for modifications later in site's life then in the beginning. So, it may be could strategy to have lower price up front, but with need to buy all new versions and higher price up front that entitles you for all new versions. Of course, support should be paid annually for. Higher price could include lower annual support price.
Not sure how would look like best business strategy, but I know that at the beginning it's much harder to pay for something and people need to know for what they could use it with many examples for practical use. We need to know what we're paying for, why it would make our sites successful, where the value is.
