Could I suggest that Andy probably doesn't have all the ideas and it's probably useful to suggest things as well that he may or may not add to the TODO list. Or at least prioritize appropriately. (Sorry Andy If I'm off the mark here). Just so this mail isn't just about discussing the way to do things and not actually doing things, here are a few random ideas that could help with the PR of Perl. * An article about the top 5 Perl applications, it might be RT, it might be at a major dot com. Ideally you'd want a mix to show how Perl has more than one style of deployment (e.g. product vs. business). * The year ahead for Perl. There are lots of large conferences happening this year for Perl, how about pulling them altogether in one place along with any releases or other significant events. * Summer of Code outreach article. Appeal for students to come forward with ideas and get involved in a Perl project this summer, there is $4,500 in it for them and maybe also some good software for us and the world at large. * Outreach to the $100 dollar (excuse me if I get the price wrong) laptop project, does it have Perl on it? How can we help the project? Maybe we can consult on getting a smaller footprint Perl on there. * Perl and Vista. An article on how Perl runs under Vista even if it is low on technical details and any new features that we are likely to be able to access through new modules. And so this e-mail isn't just about ideas and not also about doing. Andy I'm happy to do any of the above or any other idea on your TODO list. GregThread Previous | Thread Next
