It was interesting to read that one of the main topics discussed at the recent event was marketing. Certainly it took me an age to latch on to all the great work on C::A and I wish I hadn't spent so much time brewing my own version. Is this something that everyone should go through to appreciate the work of others or just get on and use it? Marketing, Better marketing, PR, call it what you want, should benefit us all in some way - all eminating from wider use of C:A. These (off the top of my head) might include:
I know that Perl programmers might not be the prime target of this marketing effort (since most of them know about C::A anyway) but I'm considering writing up my YAPC presentation for perl.com, taking the same ideas but making them into more of a tutorial (thanks Fred Moyer).
There are loads of ways of marketing but I think one of the most important signs that something is "for real" is the availability of a book. Yes you can read it all on-line/pod/wiki etc but nothing quite beats reading a real book on the train, on the breakfast table, on ..... just about anything other than skiis or a surfboard.
While this is true that a book does help, I'm not completely sure that C::A would be enough for a book. But I do think that a book about C::A/CDBI/TT(H::T)/D::FV, etc is well overdue.
