I think this comes up at least partially in response to the recent request for deletion of Habari's Wikipedia entry. The reasons for teh request are here: http://pastoid.com/5z+/ Personally, I've taken a new attitude about this Wikipedia stuff. While it's great to be listed, if you can't prove to some schlub that Habari is notable, then the problem is not that the Wikipedia article is bad, it's that we're not getting enough articles like the one above published. There is certainly a disturbing lack of reputation (positive or negative) for our software, as Christian noted in his post, http://h0bbel.p0ggel.org/why-not-consider-habari It's no wonder to me that we aren't even as notable as, for example, every last fictional detail of the Star Trek universe. Maybe I'm just skewed in my perception of the relevancy/usefulness of certain portions of Wikipedia when I see details of the registration number of the Chimera-class starship USS Portland, which apparently visited the Algira sector in an episode of Deep Space Nine. Can anyone think of something usefully promotional we can do to get other real writers to mention us in publications that would care about what we're doing? Print would be nice. I don't see Habari being mentioned in the Times or Chronicle anytime soon -- we're simply not what they cover. But there are industry publications and shows that we could interest, and perhaps we could attract some initial coverage soon. And then if Wikipedia wants to call us irrelevant, who cares? Actually, I already don't care very much.
