Marketing is about enlarging the size of the OpenACS community, bringing more developers and users into the community, and growing the viability and strength of OpenACS.
We all benefit when this happens.
So in my opinion the marketing group needs to be a group, not an ad hoc discussion on the forums. They need to meet regularly, like the OCT does, perhaps once a week via IRC.
They need to be thinking about what we need to do short-term and long-term to improve OpenACS. They need to be looking at OpenACS as a product, and as a community, and seeing where our weaknesses are, and organizing us around improving those weaknesses. And they need to be making sure we highlight what we're good at.
That's my vision for the OpenACS Marketing Team.
It doesn't have to happen. The community will move along just fine without it. But if we want OpenACS to be the big thing, it will take someone really paying attention to it. I think.
