I presume that Damien subscribes to this list since he must have enough 
interest to maintain a dedicated site on the topic of promoting PHP.

While I applaud Damien's efforts, I can't say that I found the site 
particularly interesting or compelling.

I know this is harsh, but this seems to be the order of the day for most 
such sites - I'm not just picking on Damien.

On the other hand, there have been a lot of articles written which 
discuss PHP's success and viability. Maybe there's nothing wrong with 
having a site which is little more than a glorified list of links to 
these already established articles. I also think the Zend site has the 
right idea, providing articles and tutorials which generate an interest 
which does more to promote PHP. PHPBuilder.com is also another good 
example of a site that has done a lot for php IMHO.

Maybe the answer is a mish-mash of these approaches.

Thoughts?
