I believe Damien Seguy is the person (dams@php.net) to talk to about this. If you'd like to set me up an account, I am known as wiseleo :-). I presume that Damien subscribes to this list since he must have enough interest to maintain a dedicated site on the topic of promoting PHP.
While I applaud Damien's efforts, I can't say that I found the site particularly interesting or compelling. I know this is harsh, but this seems to be the order of the day for most such sites - I'm not just picking on Damien. On the other hand, there have been a lot of articles written which discuss PHP's success and viability. Maybe there's nothing wrong with having a site which is little more than a glorified list of links to these already established articles. I also think the Zend site has the right idea, providing articles and tutorials which generate an interest which does more to promote PHP. PHPBuilder.com is also another good example of a site that has done a lot for php IMHO. Maybe the answer is a mish-mash of these approaches. Thoughts?
