imho, if you want to attract people, the OI (and other distributions) should do some advertising. That is, when a release is done, posting news on * phoronix * osnews * slashdot * reddit * lwn.net * linuxfr.org (french website) * others i don't know etc... I know that some of those site are first dedicated to linux but there have been several posts there for other OS too. I know that it is boring (i myself was doing that for a library), but it's a very good way to attract users or developpers. best regards Vincent Torri _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
