RIFE needs to get a bigger contributors/developer base. Maybe a book, some articles in the press. I think it`s better to grow slow and got instead of the quick hype that ends after two years.
I have a guaranteed ticket for being published on onjava.com and theserverside.com with RIFE articles. The only thing is that I always get stuck when writing them. I started one a few months ago, but I fear it's too dry and people will give up on reading after the initial paragraphs. Also, the example is quite boring:
http://uwyn.com/rife_tss/rife_tss.html
The main problem is that I think it's important that people understand the site-structure and declaration from the start, but it's also the most boring and non-hype topic.
So I think I will start over and begin with RIFE/Crud, introduce the CMF, customize things with properties, add new elements, gradually introduce site-structure concepts and talk about testing. Just to put the 'wow' factor as much in the beginning as possible.
Any ideas for a cool, short example application that would fit the bill? Preferably one with logic and data flows.
