It takes someone who knows how to deal with Freshmeat, and lkml, and
Slashdot and [insert your favourite here], and do the right things, and
send the right information when the time comes, etc.
Like i said, this is an art (besides being a full-time job), and some
people are very good at it.
Another example is msyslog. How many of you have heard of it? And it's a
far better syslog replacement than many other (including syslog-ng). But
it's like their authors try to hide it or something. After trying to
make them submit the releases to Freshmeat, and trying to increase
awareness about this product on several popular groups, i just gave up.
Hey, i'm just a user, not its author... :-/
