You will be wasting time and effort for naught, but knock yourself out. These schemes have been proposed and tried and failed for years now and VFP's image is still declining. I love the hubris that people think they can make a difference. Maybe if you had millions of dollars to promote the site and win over the doubters and naysayers, you could make a difference. But a on-the-shoe-string vfp site will have NO impact on the real world perception of VFP.

>The VFP developers have proven to be very effective in setting up sites. However, all sites mainly serve their own (technical) needs. There are some places where prospects (managers from companies who think about using vfp for some new it-development) can get information about vfp, but all of those places are intermingled with 'our' techical info about vfp.

>>>Since there are already many sites for vfp developers, I propose that this site aims at (potential) vfp customers. Thus, it can become a very important marketing site.
