that's strange, it's one of the very famous and well known sites for news
and especially developer news…

Where have I proposed to publish so widely ? I was talking about your
proposal and potential similar proposal from other devs.

Hi Thomas/Marius,

I'm curious to understand why you're not more thrilled by this :)

publish to the maximum number of web sites that accept tech

Sure, but there is surely too much sites that allow this.
Or are you +0 because it's more work?
and yes, we all know this is an annoying job for the RM.

wikimatrix and it's no big deal.
An alternative would be to have a MM (Marketing Manager ;)) in charge of
updating all external sites…
WDYT?
Apart for some well known major sites that we may do manually, I think best would be to only announce on those site that
could be automated
easily, and only when we have a script for that.
I don't agree with this because our goal is not publish at unknown web
sites but to focus on the well known sites even if we have to do it
manually. This has may more impact than automating the publication on web
sites that nobody uses ;)
Of course if they are both well known and automatable
it's a big win :)
but I don't think we should rule out some known web sites because we can't
automate them.
Maybe we should start by brainstorming about web sites where we could
announce on here.
I am afraid you will be starting a very long, interminable thread !
You cannot compare DZone and Wikipedia IMO. The second is really
well-known, without anyone to say the contrary. On the other hand, DZone is
debatable, and it will be difficult to get a final decision for it, simply
+0 as it happen here. This is why I propose the automation for the more
debatable sites.
I'll start a thread for that.
Thanks
