Re: [aperi-dev] Re: Aperi Project status

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe that you may be misunderstanding what PlanetEclipse is. 
PlanetEclipse is a blog aggregator. Blogging is a pretty effective way 
of letting the world know what you're up to and aggregating a blog on 
the planet is a good way of making sure that the Eclipse community hears 
about it.

Relatively speaking, blogging is cheap and the attention that it can 
bring your project can add a lot of value.

Please consider participating with PlanetEclipse.

Thanks,

Wayne
