Suggested call for Success stories!
Hey, I'd like to gather thoughts around wording an email to modperl@perl.apache.org
urging people to submit success stories.
So, how about something along these lines:
<Message>
Is the company you are working for using mod_perl ?
Is your no company listed here http://perl.apache.org/outstanding/success_stories/index.html ?
Well, if you answered Yes to both questions, submitting a success story is simple and easy.
Just download the success story template from
http://perl.apache.org/outstanding/success_stories/template.pod (not there yet),
fill it in and submit it to advocacy@perl.apache.org.
It's that simple!
The mod_perl Advocacy team

Sounds good I'll review both of them over the weekend.

I agree with Frank.
+1 to keep all the stories intact, just to remove the URLs if they are
dead and can't be adjusted.

Yup, there are .txt files in
modperl-docs/src/outstanding/success_stories/
(they get translated to pod by running ./make.pl in that directory)
and there is a related
modperl-docs/src/outstanding/sites.html
in case you want to review it as well.

Do we really need to do that? While the business might not have been
a success their previous use of mod_perl was still a success right?
We should make sure all of the links to websites are still valid,
but other than that I don't see anything wrong with leaving the
story up.
The stories without URLs, for the most part, won't be researched
by anyone to see if they are still in business anyway . Also some of
the stories only list "my former employer", "one of my consulting
contracts", etc.
If everyone agrees with me on this I'd be more than willing to double
check all of the links and correct some of the English errors I
spotted. Is this section of the website in CVS that I can patch
against?

Great, then I guess we need to get a nice and simple template written
and posted on perl.apache.org?
Another thing that could help would be to go thru the existing success
stories and make sure all those sites are still in business. Volounteers?

In fact this should be sent to the modperl list every 2-3 months, since
people need to be reminded of that...
Also I had an additional input when I was posting this request at
use.perl.org. Many people for whom mod_perl 'just works' aren't on the
mailing list, so they will never see it. So use.perl.org usually is a
good place to cross-post this request (but probably at a lesser
repetition, so the post gets approved :)
