That would be great. Especialy if 'we' can find people who aren't
programming PHP itself. And i'm thinking about project managers (They aren't
using it, but they now what it can do)

Fine with me. As long we're getting not 2 'usephp' sites..

I'm a bit jumpy because this is why i joined this list. Evangelism and
advocating PHP.. And everyting (or everyone) that can make a difference has
my vote  ;-)

I think it's also important to point out the 'hidden' features of php. PHP
can do a aweful lot of things, but most people (developers) don't know how..
