I should have added a disclaimer that I hadn't looked for that, and that the rest were ideas that were just bouncing around in my head. >>        * The standard fare of content aggregation links for news: >> "Digg This," "del.icio.us," etc. > > Gahh. That feels very very wrong Yes, I know.... but if this is the direction in which we want to move - to bring more people to the page in hopes of garnering more involvement from the community - it seems to me a simple and logical step (given current "surfing" trends, et al) in capitalizing on content we have to bring in the extra sets of eyes. Perhaps it's taking a page from some corny marketing tactics, but I'm the farthest thing from an expert on that, and I'll graciously accept all of the frowns and scoffing at the idea. >>        * A box right on the homepage like: "Want to join the PHP >> Project?  Click here for more." > > Definetly. We are just missing that page ;) Probably best left for a separate discussion, but I'm sure we could find someone to knock out some content. ;-P -- </Daniel P.
