Re: Is Wikipedia afraid of MojoMojo?by ELISHEVA (Prior) |

I just googled "MojoMojo" and was stunned by the paucity of third party sources.
Wikipedia aside, the lack of 3rd party commentary, is indicative of a "marketing problem" that needs to be addressed. (Yes Virginia, even open source projects need to market). The people involved seem to be pretty good about blogging and creating a web-presence but they appear to be over-relying on their own words. Buzz only happens when other people talk. Some ideas for starters:
It would be a shame to put all this work into a project like this without also getting a vibrant user community. Users generate users and third party reviews generate trust which generates users. Users creating their own extensions and helping each other use the software build community. Users - not developers. In the long run open source projects survive and thrive because of their user base and the only way to create one is to get the word out. Best, beth
