I'm not quite following. Are you saying that if you look at the planetXForms site you don't see your post as the top one on the home page? My comment about low output was simply that the site doesn't change more than once every couple of days. So even if people don't want to start a blog, perhaps they could still post a screenshot of their latest cool XForms application, because (a) it keeps the site fresh, and (b) it makes public the fact that people really are working on stuff. I'm as guilty as the next person, I know. :) I do blog, but I have a disk-drive full of forms that I haven't made public or written about. Interestingly the top hit on my blog is still my experiments in implementing Google Suggest with XForms, and whilst that's a couple of years old now, it shows that people want the tutorials, the code walk-throughs, the screenshots, and so on. I'm not trying to browbeat people...it only came up because we were talking about names, and all I'm trying to say that if we _really_ want more people to find about how good XForms is, then we'll get a lot more mileage out of showing them.
