Well, that may be true. But on the other hand, if there are people working on a decent tutorial now, then they will probably have no competition anyway, and if nobody is working on a tutorial now, or during a tutorial competition, then we are in trouble anyway. > Again, I believe that without fixing Zope's web presence all other Zope > marketing activities are pretty much futile. Yup. > I may be wrong about this; if so please give me the reasons I'm missing > why a slogan or logo in isolation would really help Zope's marketing. It wouldn't. I guess the idea is to get more people involved in helping Zope3s marketing. A competition may not be the answer. But then again, it might. :) The alternative is to design by comittee, which is what gave us the current zope.org. That took a very long time, and it seems nobody is happy with the results... > * create a boutique site for Zope.

And maybe we don't need to compete about everything, but how about making a competition for a flash-demo? Yes, I want a flash-demo. No, I don't know how to make one. > I'm happy to see a competition for a boutique site, and whether people > present a new zope.org or zope3.org is up to them; this may influence > whether we end up with a separate zope3.org or an integrated zope.org. I think we should definitely go for zope3.org, both to separate Zope2 and Zope3 and because zope.org currently is such a vast mess that replacing it is pretty much out of the question. If we start to think about replacing it in the future, the way to go in my opinion is to make many separate microsites with separate aims, and only one thing in common: logins. collectors.zope.org products.zope.org devwiki.zope.org news.zope.org whatever.zope.org somethingelse.zope.org This way upgrades in the future can become easier as we can do one site at a time, instead of necessarily doing all of Zope.org at one time. But first, lets concentrate on the "boutique" for Zope3. That's what's most desperately needed. -- Lennart Regebro, Nuxeo http://www.nuxeo.com/ CPS Content Management http://www.cps-project.org/ _______________________________________________ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
