I'd be happy to gather these up for everyone and bring them all to the BOF. If you find examples of where other tech is being discussed, but not mod_perl feel free to E-mail it to me directly and I'll correlate it all. You can obviously omit websites/magazines entirely devoted to a particular technology. I don't think we'll have much luck getting much perl/mod_perl PR on www.php.net or in a Java magazine. ;) > > In my opinion mod_perl definitly needs a lot of extra PR. > > My intention was that mod_perl would be talked about in the larger > context of Perl, as the standard way to build web apps.

I agree that we should work to make sure mod_perl is accurately portrayed and do our best to avoid misinterpretations that mod_perl is a separate language, etc. --------------------------------- Frank Wiles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://frank.wiles.org --------------------------------- -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
