Gunther,
I think that mentions in publications like
Ziff-Davis, CMP.net, maybe SysAdmin. However, the techies know mod_perl
and love it. It's the PHB's that we need to convince of the merit of our
chosen platform. Therefore, it also needs to make it into the rags that
management reads like Forbes, Barron, New York Times, etc. SO if anyone
knows of any reporters for these rags, we need to educate them so they can write
a really good article. And the articles need to keep coming. Then
maybe the PHB's will fall into line.
Just an idea.

This is really off
topic.
Anyway, so what are the right places for those articles?
Microsoft Systems
Journal? :)
And what should we do to get the
articles in the right
places?
