In another thread ("How many volunteers is too many?"), Brian the Fist said:

"...we have only advertized the project through word of mouth. Now that we are doing bigger sample sizes and bigger proteins, (and most bugs are quashed), we hope to start recruiting more users to join the effort in the near future."

What marketing plans have you worked up for DF? How much have you budgeted for marketing? What is your initial target market(s)? Have you hired a marketing firm to help you with this? Do you have a full-time marketer on staff?

The more volunteers a distributed computing project gets, the more productive it is. Just wondering what you're planning to do to get as many as possible.

We are not going to discuss any plans just yet, and anyhow, it is really up to Chris (a.k.a. FEEDB0B0) as he is the 'big cheese' so to speak ;)
Let's not pursue this any further for the time being.
