I know where you are coming from.  I love orion.  The problem I have is when I have to 
rationalize its use to others.  Here's the most basic recommendation that I think 
would go a long way (believe it or not)

UPDATE THE WEB SITE ONCE A WEEK
include simple news...even just a paragraph or to.  perhaps explaining latest updates 
(in betas).  If you have no news....add link to new clients/web sites...I'm sure 
...this would take about 10 minutes a week and would go a long way in helping me 
convince people to buy it...believe it or not.  I know it has no relevance on the 
quality of the product, but it would make a huge difference in giving the people I 
work with confidence in Orion's future.  This is necessary because orion is not open 
source and we can not update the orionserver.com site as a community.  I know this is 
what orionsupport is for, however, when I have to get people to commit money to a 
product simple things go a long way.  I hope this was a more productive comment.
