It's come up before and, of course, there was the less successful than hoped Perl 5.8 press release, but I noticed this in an interview with Guido van Rossum :
"GvR: Perhaps. Anyway, there are some people taking specific actions to promote Python, notably Kevin Altis, who among other things put the OSCON Python track together and has set himself the goal of increasing the number of Python users tenfold in the next year or two. There's now a "python-marketing" mailing list, and Stephan Deibel of Archaeopteryx is very active there, issuing press releases for the Python Software Foundation about various things. He'll be doing another one for the upcoming Python 2.3 release, where hopefully we can include a quote from Apple about the inclusion of Python 2.3 in the next MacOS X release." http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2003/08/14/gvr_interview.html?page=2 Does Perl need better PR? -- act like nothing's wrong
