Let me jump in and remind everyone this is a nascent idea, nothing is in production, printed or in any way shipped and refocus this thread. If there are trademark violations in the proposed design, let's let the Marketing Committee deal with it.
Back on the main idea which is relevant for this list. The overall goal is to get list participation way up on our specification projects. We bootstrapped our lists and specification projects with a handful of people. Some projects have taken off like Jakarta Rest which has 95 subscribers, but most are still on the 20-50 range.
So the primary motivator is getting that list participation up so we can make a big jump in the bootstrapping process and increase the health and diversity of our specification projects overall.
The basic idea:
- Put together a simple page of all specification lists for easy subscription
- Promote that page (a sticker is just one way)
- Track list subscription numbers to see how we're doing and measure progress
When the sticker idea came up, conferences were still happening. They are not now happening. We probably need to come up with better ideas on how to get the lists page in front of people.
Is there something we can all do as a community to help drive this link in front of people?
