Re: "Why PHP?" Google Group

Hi Stuart, Given the current discussions around PHP.net usage for news, this is pretty bad timing. Better postpone that a bit in any case. That said, I'm ready to help that projet, given that AFUP and PHP Québec already did that for their own community. Damien Seguy. Le 07-02-09 à 05:20, Stuart Herbert a écrit :

Hi, Would it be possible to get a news item on www.php.net about the initiative to create a vendor-neutral resource to help ISVs sell PHP-based products? We've setup a Google group [3] so that everyone who could benefit from such a resource has the opportunity to get involved and make this happen. At this stage, what we need is to hear from folks who sell products written in PHP. What questions about the fact they're using PHP do they get asked when trying to make the sale? What answers have they found to work best? We're not a general PHP advocacy group. We're strictly focused on producing resouces to help ISVs overcome that "but your product is written in PHP. Why PHP?" moment that unfortunately happens from time to time when making a sale.
