According to Sally, for the press release to be meaningful, we should
secure some testimonials from highly-visible users, preferably corporate.
Apparently the first question the media asks is "who uses you."
It's up to us to secure those testimonials. This is pretty important. The
biggest thing we can do to gain more help around here is to attract more
interest and awareness.
We have corporate (and even government) customers who have posted questions
to users@. I propose to ask there. I'm asking here first: Please ask (very
nicely) any contacts you may have.
Thanks,
Nathan
