Advertising your work...

Hi folks,

in his introduction Jason pointed out, quite reasonably, that he is the  
author of a book that you can buy. I don't have any issue with people  
saying things like this, and I suggest that somewhere on the Wiki we  
collect a list of such resources along with prices.

Anyone who logs into the Wiki can also set up a page saying who they are  
and what they do - again, without going over the top, a simple pointer to  
your business stuff is perfectly appropriate. After all, people who use a  
brand-name email address are already advertising. And knowing who is in  
the group and what they actually do and know about isn't a bad thing. I  
wonder if we need to set up a page to point to people's profiles, or if we  
should just rely on people finding the most prolific wiki editors and  
going to their page (my hunch is to rely on the latter…)

On the other hand, if people start using the list for serious advertising  
I'll be far less tolerant :) We're in this group to get work done to  
improve the ecosystem that many of us rely on (admittedly in some cases to  
sell advertising services), not to sell stuff to each other.

cheers
