    I think it’s time for a general update of the marketing site as a whole. This would make a good bit of content for a Jot-comment enabled article section.

          When you say marketing site you mean modxcms.com frontpage + Features (and subpages) + the About page + possibly the donation page, are you ?
          If needed I’ll create a writeboard for each of those...

            I have a little idea..

            a ’submit your modx site’ area should be a nice marketing/promotion idea, showing what modx can do.
            Moreover modxcms.com got Page Rank 6 and a lot of webmaster will love a link from it .

              Great idea !

              I am all for it but I would have it two ways :

              • a handpicked shortlist on modxcms.com : only the best designed, showcase grade featured websites in there.
              • a MODx website directory handled either by each local website like modx.ru and modx.it...etc. Smart thing would be to have a page linking to all the international MODx pages. That would also showcase local communities...

              I know we french are planning to create such a directory on modxcms.fr (an IM conference is due to rough out the details of the future french MODx site which will aimed at being complementary to exisiting resources -> I’ll keep you posted on that).

              On top of the showase directory, I am thinking if one of us pros could build up a case study, that would be great.
              I’ll certainly do that for the big project I am finishing off right now.

                same for me wink I’m finishing a very complicated real estate community with a lot of feature..
                I will write a topic for webdesigner ...something like ’’what I ve done with modx without Php knowledge’ laugh laugh

                  some addictional ideas

                  - use maxigallery or something like the repository for the sites gallery
                  - we should improve submission with a ’’best site’ context

                    Set up a voting system for the "best site".

                    Then we need to have promotional items; t-shirts, mouse pads, mugs etc., to give away as prizes... I know, I’m dreaming. Someday, maybe!

                      Or iPods. I want to give away a Nano for a logo contest (or such similar activity).
