We are working on a Pig Tutorial, scheduled to be placed on the
apache site in June.

1) Whether we're becoming a subproject or not, this idea is a kind
of cool.
We can just ship out as a utility in Hadoop to harvest more users.
More Pig
users = more Hadoop users anyway so it doesn't seem to conflict with
anything.
2) Let's do like the way they promoted Ruby on Rails. Wow!! you can
make a
website in 5 minutes!!

Currently, there are really 1-2 people that pop out in design

I
would agree on anything that will make us more like a real
community!
However, the main idea will never change. The more usable
application =
more
users = more developers.
The chicken and the egg ...I know
But I guess there are a couple of things pig could do.
1) Provide the current hadoop distributions with PIG integrated.
(Should be
communicated with the hadoop project of course)
2) A tutorial / screencast what you can already do with it. Maybe run
through the usual examples.
3) Make a list of companies/projects that already use PIG in
production
4) Get some people to blog about this once things are in place
I know this isn't all nice and sexy development stuff. But I am
sure it
will help to find a few more hands.
My 2 cents
cheers
