I am sorry, but when I see something like this:

"How do we feel about 'becoming the de-facto technology for e-development' ?"

I know that I do not want marketing of this type associated with OpenACS. If an individual company wants to advertise it's services this way, no problem, but I don't feel it is appropriate to assocaite this type of message with the community.

That is, if a half-dozen or so OpenACS consulting companies want to collaborate and create a "vision" for the marketing of OpenACS, I don't want it to conflict with the goals of the community.

So, information about the technical benefites of OpenACS, and how it can make it easier to develop web applications using OpenACS is just fine. I just don't want to see dot-com style "branding" of OpenACS going on. Recall the various stages of the ArsDigita home page.
