Great idea! We should start to collect information on this and put some effort in the presentation of the data...either a great Slippy / reveal.js / impress.js presentation of even a video (sells so much better).
On that matter we should also think about a new way to present Symfony2 for developers: - Like the "There is a Bundle for that" (http://friendsofsymfony.github.com/slides/there_is_a_bundle_for_that.html) presentation but for developers who aren't familiar with Symfony2 yet - (More) video tutorials - you can do so many things in few minutes...let's show them how great Symfony really is - Demo repositories like https://github.com/liip/LiipHelloBundle but focus on starters demonstrating the power of Doctrine, Twig, Forms There is a lot of good information already out there but we should collect the most valuable information and put it on symfony.com.
