Thank you - we do post our press releases there and it draws a lot of interest - but seems to be more look-i-loos than purchasers - no idea why.
As to paid vs free (Jasper), it depends on what your time iw worth. We've had lots of people go from Jasper to Windward because it saves them so much time. On the flip side, I've had people in Malaysia and Vietnam tell me that the extra time required for Jasper was ok in their case as salaries are so low there.

Possibly, you've already thougth about this. -Dennis "David Thielen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02/03/2006 09:08 AM Please respond to "Struts Users Mailing List" <user@struts.apache.org> To <user@struts.apache.org> cc Subject [Friday] - finding the Mavens in the Java world Hi all; For those of you that have read The < http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0316346624/sr=1-1/qid=1138589404/ref=pd_bb s_1/002-3569767-9990453?%5Fencoding=UTF8> Tipping Point, this will make sense (I think). For those that haven't, a maven is a person that trys just about every interesting program they see, and then tells others what they think about it. They're the ones the rest of us depend on to tell us what is worth trying and what new programs we should just skip. We want to give a free copy of Windward Reports <http://www.windwardreports.com/> to all mavens in the Java (and .NET) programming world (value $1,134.00). No conditions or requirements or anything like that. A free regular copy with no limitations except that they cannot resell it. Why? We figure if we give them a copy, they might use it. And if they use it, we figure they'll probably post or write about it. So we're not asking them to do anything - but we figure our odds are pretty good they will. (Yes, we believe that much in our reporting engine.) So. Any ideas on how to find these people and make the offer to them?
