I thought it was very interesting that your first "woulda...coulda..." had to do with actively publicizing your project. It seems to me that we, in education, don't often think about ways to "get our names out there" and raise our profiles in ways that business and organizations do.

One can imagine all of the good that could be done if we were to only have an informed public - or (not to be too shallow) even a catch-phrase that they could grab on to.

I would be curious to know if other projects have actively and aggressively publicized their work and if it seems to have any impact on the scale of acceptance, understanding and ultimate sustainability.

Thanks for raising this issue.
