Ahoi,

I wanted to first check if we can put together a small task force on this 
before also contacting other places like the Symfony2 forum or users 
mailinglist. Basically right now there is no place we can all send our clients 
to do show them how good a choice Symfony2 is. There is the elevator pitch [1] 
and there is Fabien's "why Symfony" [2] post and a few slide decks scattered 
around. The section on case studies is Symfony 1.x plus Drupal and ezPublish 
migration [3] .

But what I would like to see is a place that collects:
- use cases of high profile sites (ie. sites with known brands, high 
performance/reliability requirements etc.)
- features and benefits in manager-speak
- list of applications, frameworks and libraries using Symfony2 (f.e. its cool 
to say that Amazon used our components for their PHP SDK)

Examples of our similar sites:
- Drupal http://drupal.org/case-studies
- TYPO3 http://www.t3blog.com

My vision is to have a site like http://experience.symfony.com were all of this 
is collected. It would be maintained on github.com as a static site. Ideally a 
few of us developers would setup the site, but hand over merging of PRs adding 
new content to more marketing adept people within our community (or associated 
organizations). Alternatively we could also put together something with the CMF 
(might actually be a great use case to showcase what it can do) so that content 
can be managed on the site itself.

I have also seen projects create dedicated mailinglists to this topic, but I 
have seen them get dried up quickly too .. so not sure if it makes sense.

regards,
Lukas Kahwe Smith
