Problem is to keep it that way :) Feeding More news to media
(slashdot,linuxtoday,osnews....) submit file releases to other sites
(download.com,softpedia.com) Now i have some contacts, maybe i will
create a database contacts.fdb with info how to submit news (email, form
) and who to contact , who is eager to print your news
Maybe scripting some parts of work (send emails to editors)
auto posting on sites when firebird is released.

PS:It's a hard work , sometimes submitting news to windows sites
is so hard (there is no submit news button on them) and no response also.
You can try some "big" news sites , See what i mean ...
