I've discussed setting up a new website for Perl (meta site?) at a couple recent socials and look forward to throwing ideas around at the next technical meeting. My target is a bit different than your suggestion, but I'd love to hear any ideas. I also strongly concur with brian_d_foy's goal of getting more people (including myself ;) publishing well written articles about Perl. I think getting more well-written technical articles, that just happen to use Perl, into general computing periodical is a great, unobtrusive way of advocating Perl and raising it's profile some. And educating the public about some of the things it can do well. Advertising is an interesting idea - I'm not into marketing particularly, but I suspect advertising training/certification might be enough. "Looking to take advantage of the explosive growth in Web Applications/eCommerce/something..."? I just can't seem to get my mind behind a pure 'Go Perl' radio spot. -- Sean Quinlan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
