Hey, your observations may be right and I appreciate your help! ;-) My strong reaction was probably due more to the tone of your email. Saying to someone: "you have failed to provide ..." is not a very nice thing to say. Saying, "maybe you should try to work more on the marketing side" is softer! :-). My turn to apologize if my reaction was too strong ;-) Ok I want to be positive and try to see if there's anything I can do to improve the overall Cactus community. You say Cactus might be missing some marketing muscles. I would like to believe that. From the information in my email do you still think there's more the Cactus team could do? You said the persons in your team were pondering about using Cactus. That means they already know about it. So marketing is good! Maybe documentation need to be improved? FYI, we have actually started working on the Cactus front-end (Maven plugin, Eclipse plugin, standalone testing application, Ant tasks, etc) which should make it easier to use (this was one weak-point noted by the users - the entry barrier).
