I believe that this is already being addressed with the work Gabrielle, Mark, et. al. have been doing. It's slowly becoming more and more visible (15 Questions, organized representation at events like NTEN & World Internet Expo, etc). While I'm not sure exactly who all is involved on the team, from what I've heard, there is a plan taking shape. I'm sure, like most of our teams, they probably need more help. Personally, I think one of the things that would help is a formal PR/Marketing/Evangelism contact so that any journalists looking to write about Plone or any press releases put out always have a representative to go to. Establishing a relationship with the such people can be very valuable when it comes to promoting events like World Plone Day or the Conference. Telling people to contact a mailing list just isn't enough (tho I think it should still be done so we have a record of such messages/inquiries). Establishing a leadership team for the doc team has helped us get organized and we operate much like the framework team. Having a recognized leadership for all of Plone's working groups might benefit from a guiding team? _______________________________________________ Evangelism mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/evangelism
