wilco Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 So I just got dinged for announcing my open source project in the frameworks forum (read: not viagra ads or pyramid schemes, but a relevant not-for-profit/open-source PHP project), but it gave me an idea. If there isn't currently a forum appropriate for members to announce open source and other PHP-related projects , why not create one? That way people that don't want to see those types of post can avoid them, and those that want to find out about new projects and the like could have a place to do so? What do you think?

Daniel0 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Beta Testing Forum http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/board,62.0.html If you use that forum for just advertising then you're breaking the rules. The beta testing forum is for, well, beta testing.

ober Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 The short answer is no. We're not here to promote your products. We're here to help you build them when you get stuck. We don't get anything out of promoting you, so what is the incentive for us to do it?

.josh Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 If you are wanting to announce your project for the purpose of getting people to help on the project (paid or non-paid) you could post in the freelance section. But FYI: "I'm starting a new project, check it out here! <some link>" == BAD "I'm starting a new project, anybody wanna help out? contact me at ..." == GOOD Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/152331-suggestion-project-announcement-forum/#findComment-800427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
