Let me stright things out a bit, so you won't get misleaded by my post as
a marketing call.
What we want is very simple.
1. We want many users, so they will thoroughly test the software and spot
bugs asap, so we -- current users will get a better product.
2. We want more developers, so they will write core mod_perl and 3rd party
modules, again for us current users to re-use and save development
time. The first item is directly linked to the second, as new developers
come out from users.
That's all. The advocacy project is about making people interested in perl
and mod_perl, versus php and java. You see we just loose the testing power
and development power because we cannot attract these people to join *our*
community.
So all the fuss is not about marketing, press and other commercial
bullshit.
It's about people since Open Source without people will not exist.
If we don't ensure that there is a constant income of new people to the
project, we cannot ensure the future of the project.
I hope that our initiative is better understood now.
