Precisely. Get people primed for the release. When it is released everyone should feel they want to take the natural step and deploy it. Take a peek at how Microsoft et al do. Raise expectations enormously. Disclose some well defined issues (like that irritating paper clip helper or something --- mind you FreeBSD have better things). People will talk about it and that's the point. Nothing succeeds like success! Press releases (releasii:) are always good material. /Micke On tisdag, nov 19, 2002, at 14:14 Europe/Stockholm, Eric Anderson wrote: > Julian H.
