[Zope-marketing] zope.org - Who Uses This Thing Called Zope?

[Paul Everitt]

Hey, look, I waited a long time to reply to this. :^(  Sorry, I've been 
trying to focus on zope.org things.

I'd like the first step on this list to be about what we individually 
commit to doing, rather than discussing the very long list of things 
that ought to be done.  Thus, I agree with Alan's post below and his 
followup post later.

One nit with the following though: before sending out a call to the 
community, I'd like us to produce something.

I'll give my action item in a following post.
