Hi Tommaso, I just looked at the DM website and I think one of the biggest issues with DM is exactly this: the website, and the docs.
Lot of pages are empty, some read very short and not informative. That aside, some questions reader might have are not answered. In example here: http://directmemory.apache.org/javascript-caching.html I would suspect there is a security issue with that approach. On the other hand, I couldn't get from the website how DM in general works. This might lead to the fact the project doesn't get it's deserved momentum. People simple don't know what it is, how to use it, or what the difference to other solutions like EHCache is. Another idea would be to preprare integrations with existing products. In example, one could show the benefits of integrating it with Struts, Wicket or Tapestry. Maybe even provide some kind of connector. This may make users of these products to DM users. There might be other opportunities. However if there is simply nobody who is willing to help in these corners, then unfortunately there is no other way round than the attic. But I would think one should pimp the docs first, as they are really not in a good shape.
