Sounds nice, but who is going the maintain it and how do you get it uptodate enough so programmers come offen back. It could contain Marketing texts (Including PDFs) complete with buzzwords -- for the PHBs, stats (netcraft style usage, etc), platform availability, benchmarks, generalized feature set, etc. Who's going the write all that interesting stuff..

I'd give some time to maintain it, from a programming standpoint, but I don't (currently) have access to stats/other content. I'd love to find some non-programmers (designers, writers) on-board for PHP evangelism.

www.usephp.net seems to be dead. Just let use.php.net point to www.usephp.net and make usephp.net alive again.. That's much better than create just another site

or point usephp.net to use.php.net, following the standards set by other sites: gtk.php.net isn't gtkphp.net, but yes, it should be alive again. I'm going to look it up in the google cache and archive.org, and see what I can find.

I like the idea, i only think it won't work the way we want it..

Like I said, these are ideas. Definitely not "This is what evangelism should be. We're not doing it right." It's true. We're not doing it properly, but my post was more of a "what do others think of this", and "let's get the ball rolling" post. Sorry if I hit a nerve, that wasn't my intention. S
