<div dir="ltr"><div>These are all great ideas and I too would like to get more action on our website. This is one area I have zero ability currently since MoCo controls the site and the Thunderbird blog (which is why there have not been any blog posts) quite frankly I would love to do some blogging on the Thunderbird Blog.<br>
<br></div>Maybe we can discuss all of this at an upcoming status meeting? I'm traveling the next two weeks but can drop in to one the week of the 24th or in March?<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Marketing != T-Shirts<br>
Rather:
<ul>
<li>What are the values and benefits of Thunderbird? Why should I
use it? E.g.:</li>
<ul>
<li>All accounts in one place, takes only seconds to check for
new mails<br>
My non-tech friends were simply *amazed* how easy and fast
that is. They LOVED it.<br>
</li>
<li>Own your mails, have everything on your computer<br>
works offline, security, provider closing etc.</li>
<li><insert here><br>
Talk with new (!) Thunderbird users that you converted, why
they like Thunderbird. If there's one thing that many people
mention, add it to the list.</li>
<li>Make some webpages describing the above<br>
</li>
</ul>
<li>Make a nice layout for the above webpages<br>
(This is for a web designer, different person from above, can be
independent)</li>
<li>Reach out: Find new user groups</li>
<ul>
<li>Talk to mainstream press<br>
(Traditional PR work)<br>
</li>
<li>Post on website/blog, Facebook page and Twitter regularly
(same content):</li>
<ul>
<li>new developments in Thunderbird</li>
<li>Articles explaining off useful features, one article per
week</li>
</ul>
<li>Encourage existing users to help friends to use Thunderbird<br>
(compare <a href="http://spreadfirefox.com" target="_blank">spreadfirefox.com</a>)<br>
</li>
</ul>
</ul>
