Hi-

I have been gathering some more info about recent deployments. Thanks
to
Marina, I have added several more current deployments to our
Deployments
wiki page, https://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/GnomeDeployments,
including a one using GNOME 3.0.2.

Thanks for working on this, it's great to have some current information
there

My suggestion is that we split off the older deployments to another
page,
called GNOME Deployments 2000-2008. I would prefer to have that info
available, but I agree with Joanie that seeing a list of really old
deployments could send a negative message. I would rename the current
page
to Current Gnome Deployments, and would refer to the older deployments
page
there. I chose those dates, because I want to make sure that the
current
page has enough data not to look too sparse.

That sound really great to me. I agree with you and Joanie that it
doesn't
look good to have such old information on that main deployments page.

I'm trying to track down info on another couple of deployments I know of
too.

What's this page used for? Is it worth the effort of ongoing maintenance?

In the most general way, I think it's important to have a place where we
show people where GNOME is being used. More specifically, I have wanted to
point potential new partners to this page but have hesitated because it's
so out of date. It's nice to be able to show folks that GNOME is used
successfully in real endeavours. Were the page somewhat current, we could
also use it as a reference for grant applications and the like.

OK, just checking. :)
