I've tried a few recently in the DW group, but it's way to much for one person to do. That's a very busy group - hundreds of message a day. I have to say though, by the look of it, one of the most useful groups I've seen (for those in that community of course). Perhaps you're right. It's a different kind of evangelism campaign. If we could get some people to target even just the DW group (it's the #1 authoring tool for "professionals" sic) that would make a difference. People in there mostly hate NS and it is miguided (even though many of their complaints are valid) and the solutions are mostly wrong.i.e. it's bad html. > On the other hand, if the web starts getting more standards complient, > MS will simply change IE 6.5 or 7.0 so that it "breaks" with the > standard in just enough key places so that people will be forced to go > back to coding specially for IE which means gecko will never take off. > > Aiyeee, so what to do then?
