This conversation seems to be moving sideways into nonsense. Open Source and LAMP have nothing to do with each other. There are a million ways to consume open source without touching a LAMP stack (some people even use apps... I mean, applications, which are neither 1. web based nor 2. mobile based. /shudder) Yes LAMP is one deployment model, so is WAMP, so is WIMP, so is... Keep to the message of what open source does for productivity, and don't start worrying whether the reader has a Java or C# or erlang shop. If this really is a LAMP discussion, I'd suggest looking to a LAMP focused community for some feedback, rather than ASF-wide community. (And if it's a Java focused article you are trying to write, I think you are on the right list for a really diverse set of input.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: community-unsubscr...@apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: community-h...@apache.org
