And, yes, I did not do my most thorough homework regarding Pharo, as several of you have pointed out. Frankly, I don't have /that/ much time and energy. I'm old and retired. I'm just doing this for pleasure.
So I rely on /you/ to set me straight.
In process :)
I remind you that I'm just the coordinator of the campaign, because I'm sure none of you have that much time to do what I'm doing.
Marcus suggested that anyone can create a Google+ page, but he misses the point. The Google+ page is just one brick in the foundation of the campaign. It's part of a whole.
Norbert suggests that I think I know what to do. No, I have ideas and I have a plan. There's no guarantee that it will work. Either you buy into my plan, or you don't. Either I have your support, or I don't. If the latter, I shan't waste any more time (yours or mind).
It's not just a matter of time, but inclination. If you are inclined to
do this, then it should be supported - but it's a matter of getting the PR message aligned with the technical vision. We don't want the market being told one thing then getting a different message here in-list. So you made a misstep here. That's okay, you learn more that way than doing nothing. It may take some more back-n-forth. I hope you continue.
