GWT.create was promoted that way last year and I see no reason GWTcon couldn't have been promoted the same way (I for one wouldn't have opposed it at least ;-) ) That said, I think you managed the promotion quite well, even without such link on the front page; maybe you could ask Vaadin if they have stats of how many people came to the GWT.create site from gwtproject.org. And maybe next year we'll have a "news" or "events" section on the site, or you'll have a banner in the front page ;-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Contributors" group.
