Tagline
I attended the media training at ApacheCon earlier this week and as part of
the day's discussions, I submitted our current project tagline "The build
system that doesn't suck" to our group for feedback. The group was mostly
composed of technical folks and one non-technical person (Sally, our
trainer). As you might expect, the response to the tagline was not very
enthusiastic. Most thought is was an okay tagline for a small project
that's starting out but that it probably needs refinement for a project with
bigger aspirations.
Among some comment, one was along the line of... "Let's say a developer
discovers Buildr and really likes it. Before using it, she needs to have it
checked out by her manager. The manager goes to the website, reads the
tagline ... and ... well, doesn't get a great first impression." Don't be
alarmed, though, the group thought the current tagline could still be used
on t-shirts and other such promotional pieces but that the official tagline
should probably be a little more positive sounding.
I tend to agree with the feedback and in any case I've been meaning to
brainstorm this on the mailing list... Here are some starting points I've
been thinking about for the tagline:
"Ready, Set, Build!" (emphasize speed / productivity)
"Beautiful Builds" (elegance / beautiful code meme)
"Any Code, Any Size, Any Task" (polyglot programming, scalability and
customizability)
Any of these strike your fancy? You think you can do better?
I'd like to collect ideas during the next 2 weeks (time enough to brainstorm
without pressure) and then proceed with a couple rounds of voting for the
best tagline. Winner gets karma points, self-satisfaction, bragging rights
and the next release (1.4.0) dedicated to her/him.

1. build.with :buildr
2. buildr - build easy
3. build, don't stress - buildr
All but the first sound like slogans from 80s local television
commercials, so try to imagine them read with Mr. T's voice... :p
Cheers,

Thanks everybody for participating in our poll.
The new tagline for Buildr is "Build like you code".
I will go change the tagline in the gemspec and the site now.

One thing I like about Buildr is that it can turn a normally boring job into
a creative task, just like programming. So I was thinking along the lines

I'd like to suggest a slight modification to the original "Ready, Set,
Build" -- "Ready, Set, Buildr!"
Or in jest...

Thanks to everybody who sent in their taglines.
Anyone wants to suggest more taglines, you have another 48 hours to do so.
After that, we'll start voting.

with less work, or less waste, if you will.

"Read, Set, Build!" sounds a little bit too much like a Ruby tutorial. :-)
