Betsy,
Advertising in TPJ? But that's 'The Perl Journal'!
Bundling with SA? But as Elaine says SA's already know about Perl.
We are talking about advertizing in places where people don't know yet
about Perl.
Please don't understand me wrong, ORA is doing is a great job evangelizing
Perl and I like pretty much most of the things ORA does. It's just that
advertising in places where Perl people are there already, doesn't add
much value to the idea of advertising Perl. It's probably still useful for
ORA, and therefore indirectly to the Perl community.
