This would have my preference. If you want to fix the Zope 2 website at the same time as branding Zope 3, I fear it is a monumental task that will never happen. The Zope 2 website is so big, and has so much content that it should have somebody working on it full time if it needs changing. Perhaps this monumental approach to a zope site is wrong. Microsites with well defined boundaries, that a few or a single person could be responsible for might be a better approach. -- hilsen/regards Max M, Denmark http://www.mxm.dk/ IT's Mad Science ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users

The front page of Zope.org doesn't show the activity around Z3 at all. That wouln't cost anything to start to add a few z3 links in Zope Exits for example. (beside the point to have a marco/micro approach) Good point. I'm not a maintainer of the current zope.org so this suggestion will have to be made to someone who can change things. I'm sure someone is listening on the zope-web mailing list who can? Regards, Martijn ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users

It's about lowering the barrier to entry and the risk that they'll spend time learning something that'll turn out to be a dead end. It's about showing off that Zope can be sexy and knock the socks off the competition. It's about generating some excitement, not just a dreary list of technical blather. [...] How about we have a marketing competition? :-) The goal would be to set a date, like end of February or end of March, at which point everyone would submit their entries. Entries would be something like a one-to-three page brochure website. We'd vote...maybe within categories like 'marketing copy', 'layout', 'logo', and 'overall concept'. Winners would have net fame, and we'd put top contenders up on a zope*.org site. Maybe we could do something else small for the winners too? Any ideas? Minimal requirements to get this to happen: - final submission date - enough people committing to have an entry (maybe 10? 15? I think *everyone* potentially has something to offer here, so the numbers would ideally be even bigger...but I won't hold my breath :-) - someone willing to organize - a web site to post the results to. ;-) If the due date is in March or later, I'll volunteer to organize, if there's enough interest and then enough commitments to enter. That said, if someone else wanted to volunteer to organize, I'd gladly hand the reins over. ;-) Is this crazy?
