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 [email protected] [1] http://symfony.com/elevator-pitches [2] http://fabien.potencier.org/article/65/why-symfony [3] http://symfony.com/blog/category/case-studies
