Can we collect enough for a NY Times ad? :) http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=5781
Making the NY Times is one thing. However, I think that one thing you guys should keep your eyes on whilst doing this press release is search engine penetration - how high up will the article get when someone types in the most common keywords (mod_perl, perl apache, perl, apache, php or perl, etc).
The reason I say this is that, when I first started researching mod_perl, about 1.5 short years ago, search engines often led me to very helpful articles on how to install/configure mod_perl, but these were frequently emblazoned with the alarming qualifier "DO NOT USE MOD_PERL 2 IN A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT" or words to that effect.
and lest you've forgotten: http://web.archive.org/web/20030604112031/http://beaucox.com/mason/mason-wit h-apmp2-mini-HOWTO.htm
The problem is that these articles are all still around, and in particular they are associated with otherwise otherwise highly marketable software like Mason and Embperl.
IMHO, these qualifiers play a fairly significant role in the decline in mod_perl usage stats we've been seeing in the last few months.
Any ideas how to fix that situation? go after the old articles and ask to change them?
